I normally wouldn't link to a Cracked article here, because as entertaining as the articles are usually, they definitely are built solely for people to post at other sites and get their friends to read.

That being said, had to do this one. There's some genuinely cool stuff in here, and since the first one in the list is from my game of the year, I wanted to share it.

Most of those are pretty weird. I was hesitant to read it because Cracked is a MAD rip off.

Interesting read. Thanks for the link.

I wouldn't have expected creepiness to be the style of the GTA devs, but apparently they thought that a silly pun on "the heart of the city" was enough to justify this thing.

Dragging a ghost's dead incorporeal body outline in Hitman was...rather silly as well.

I read this yesterday, and I'm so glad I didn't get a Gameboy Camera as a child.

Who are you running from ? sad.gif

Also I was disappointed that they didn't add the Sonic CD creepy Easter Egg.
" Fun is eternal with the Sega Master System "- Signed Satan.

Cue creepy US boss music and creepy pictures of Sonic.

Oh and they skipped out the Wario party beat mixer too, if you spin one of the songs really fast, it will sound like " I bring children into hell ".

What's wrong with Sega and Nintendo ??

I have a few copies of the Swedish MAD somewhere at home. =P

I like creepy stuff in non-horror video games, so that was an interesting read.

Yeah that phrase, in context, is perhaps one of the creepiest things I have ever layed eyes on D:

Those were so cool, considering I haven't played any of those games (those five minutes of portal don't count). The half life 2 zombie voice was really freaky...it sounded so demented. I love reading about easter eggs that are different.
