Sometimes death makes a game better. Join http://www.WatchMojo.com as we countdown our picks for the Top 10 Video Games with Permadeath. Permadeath is a game mechanic which makes it so that when a player-controlled character dies, they cannot respawn or otherwise return. For this list, we're limiting our picks to those where permadeath is part of the standard experience. Sorry Diablo, no optional hardcore modes here.
