I found another really cool game; I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes sick and twisted things.  Yes, it does say "killkenny" in the URL.

You remember South Park, don't you?  It's the warped cartoon, featuring a group of twistedly obnoxious (and bizzarely cute) fourth graders in the podunk redneck whitebread (and fictional) town of South Park, Colorado.  They have an endless series of adventures, and in most episodes, the character of Kenny was killed in some bizaare and gruesome fashion.  That was almost always followed by the rest of the characters yelling, "Oh my God!  They killed Kenny!  Those bastards!"

This gag started as a side joke in the pilot episode, but the audiences loved it, and so killing Kenny was written into the series.  He always dies, usually by gratuitous violence, and always comes back next week with no questions asked.  This game lives up to the proud tradition.

It's a very simple game, really.  Kenny is running back and forth under a roof, while the other South Park kids (Kenny's friends) are on top, dropping knives at him.  As the player, you control Kenny.  You score points for avoiding knives, and lose a life every time a knife hits you.  You start with 5 lives.

In this iteration, Kenny can fight back.  One of the South Park grownups will appear periodically and offer a gun; if you take it, you can have Kenny shoot back at his friends.  You'll score 1000 points if you hit one of them.

And that's that. The in-game instructions are excellent, very clear and easy to understand, and the game itself is a lot of fun, in a sick and twisted sort of way.  It gets a thumbs up from me.
