Dark Souls used it too, didn't it? I always liked how enemies would just stick to your ankles and flop around for a while.

F.E.A.R is in a league of its own. Havok should have been retired after it dropped.

Ragdolling bodies is one part of Deus Ex: Invisible War everyone can appreciate. It's one of the earliest games I had to include for my Havok Physics list, and it's always cool to see how early Ion Storm used these physics.

@weatherby Oh yeah, I'll add that.
@gruel but then we wouldn't have Just Cause 2...
@PasokonDeacon oh yeah that was one of the first games I remember seeing it in. It also affected actual gameplay, which was the original intention of this list before I decided to just include anything with funny ragdolls.
