Pac-man:
An astronaut is constantly harangued by the ghosts of his fellow crewmates, who he murdered in a fit of psychosis- starts popping pills and other medications to make the ghosts go away until his mind snaps, the ghosts overwhelm him and he commits suicide.

They do have texture packs for that. And a gore mod.subject_87 said:
OT:Gears of War,essentially a gritty reboot on grit itself. The entire game would just be bloodcurdiling roars and a screen of exploding guts.
How about this? NiGHTS: Broken Dreams.
A gritty and deep psychological thriller which highlights the absolute twistedness of Reala in a way that'd make Heath Ledger's Joker look like Bozo the Clown, a dark and twisted discovery of NiGHTS deeply buried truma as a sexless being in a world that does not support him, and the utmost abuse two children suffered to have to create such beings.

Cooking Mama.
The "Mama" is on the loose. People are afraid to leave the house. Another body turned up on Friday, burned and half eaten.
You are Frank McGravel, a heroin addicted dirty cop. When your wife goes missing, you fear "The mama" has taken her. How far would you go to save someone you love?

Gears of War. They'd have to try to make it grittier, possibly by making the game entirely out of gravel.
Carebears and My Little Pony actually had their share of slightly grim bits...
So I'm going to have to go for Rainbow Islands. Even it's nastiest baddies are actually quite cute and cuddly, and do no more harm than making your guy so dizzy that he loses his balance and falls over. Though he does drown much like every other platform character (ie flies upwards then falls off the bottom of the screen, flailing his arms, landing... where?!)
Or to go the other way, Rainbow Brite. You could probably make a very harsh outcome for anyone who's got the "turning grey" disease, and attach a whole lot of creepiness to the method of giving them back colour and the origin of the ability, side effects, etc.
Dangermouse and Trapdoor are probably long overdue too, though they weren't entirely devoid of nastiness.
How about In The Night Garden reworked as a Tim Burton acid trip with demonic malevolence bubbling just below the surface of every otherwise simpering, cutesy, harmless resident of that mysterious forest?

Play School
There's a mother fucking bear in there. And a god damned chair as well. There are people with their fucking games, and a Hell of a lot of stories to tell. Open wide, come inside, if you dare but there's no guarantee you'll come out alive. It's Play School.

Although There Will Be Brawl made Kirby Hannibal Lecter, so maybe that's close enough for me.
oh! OH!
THE ANIMALS OF FARTHING WOOD.
You only need make one change. Remove the strange mental block that stops the foxes, badgers, owls and other predators seeing the smaller animals (rabbits, voles, mice...) as viable prey. Extrapolate. Animate. Air at 4.15pm on a children's channel. Have all your post diverted to a PO Box that you then pay a hazardous waste disposal company to empty and dump directly into an incinerator.

Undeniably horrifying, a world made of robots.
He's Rolie Polie Olie...He's small and smart and round...
a gritty reboot of the sims where you control greasy teens through their low income lives or the unfulfilled joy that one would expect from fame with many activities such as monologue, self harm, go to their (unsatisfying) jobs, have rough sex, brutally murder people for fun or start/join a band and all those other chesnuts you so badly wish to see in a gritty reboot of a life simulator and more all with voices you can replicate with an industrial sized blender with tourets full of gravel
number 2 would be a gritty reboot of lemmings where they're all manic-depressives and you play their council worker where you must get them out the asylum whilst avoiding masked psycotics
but the stupidest, most rediculously absurd gritty reboot i can think of would be one of kinetimals super smash bros where you can see kirby slowly devour mario or see meta knight impale someone mortal kombat style through the chest, solid snake hack people to death with a machete as opposed to a combat knife, samus blast opponents to bloody stumps and my favourite watching mario drop kicking princess peach's head into bloody piecies
actually the more a think about it the more i want to see nintendo and friends' fat francises be punished for releacing basically the same game over and over
