Top 10 Best Video Game Weapons

Here are what I think to be the top 10 best video games to date. It was touch narrowing it down to just 10, but I think my list is solid.

10. Ivy's Sword - Soul Calibur Series

For those of you who have played any Soul Calibur game, you know how powerful Ivy's Sword can really be. This things looks like a regular sword, but when it's extented it turns into a the ultimate sword-whip bringer of rape. Not only is it strong but it has great range and can be used for ridiculous combos. Becoming good with this weapon makes you nearly unstoppable and a pain in the ass to play against. Plus it makes Ivy look that much hotter.




9. Torque Bow - Gears of War Series

The Torque Bow from Gears of War is a personal favorite of mine. It's basically a crossbow the shoots exploding arrows. Cool, I know. It also has a laser sight, making it even more deadly in the right hands. With it's ability of a one shot kill, it is a very popular weapon online. This weapon may sound cheap, but it very well balanced with limited ammo definitely takes skill to use. Nothing sucks more than the second or two after you get hit by a torque bow, but before it blows up. It leaves you just enough time to make you say "Oh sh--."

8. Rock-It Launcher - Fallout 3

It may look like crap, but the Rock-It Launcher is an awesome weapon. Ammo in Fallout 3 can be hard to come by sometimes, so this gun is perfect if you chew through ammo religiously. It fires almost anything: butter knifes, baseballs, teddy bears, hammers, plunger, cans, and even chunks of humans. And as everyone knows; there's nothing better than killing super mutants with teddy bears.


7. Crowbar - Half Life Series

In Half Life games, the crowbar is your best friend. It's always there for you, especially when you need it most. You receive it at the beginning of the game and use it throughout. It can be used for all sorts of stuff from breaking stuff to smashing faces. It's especially helpful when fending off those pesky head crabs.

6. Lancer - Gears of War Series

Come on. Just look at it. How could this not be one of the best weapons ever? It's an assault rifle and a chainsaw. At the same time. This weapon is effective at long to short range, making it useful no matter what situation you're in. Although I believe the chainsaw is too strong in Gears of War 2, it's still one of the best. Chainsawing your friends and enemies in half could never be more fun!



5. Lightsaber - Almost any Star Wars game

You're all probably familiar with the lightsaber. As you likely are you probably are also aware of how much it owns. It can cut through just about anything and if you have Jesus reflexes you can deflect bullets and stuff with it. When you're done just press the button and it turns off. Plus it comes in assorted colors.

4. Cerebral Bore - Turok 2

I have never used the Cerebral Bore, or even played Turok 2. But when I read about this gun I knew that I would love it. It works like this. You run around with the gun and when you see an enemy it will lock onto their head. Then just fire the gun. It shoots some little drill thing that attaches to their head and drills their brains out. When that over with, it blow up. Cool huh?




3. BFG - Doom

What does BFG stand for, you may ask? Big Fucking Gun. And it is exactly that. It is a solid metal gun that fires balls of exploding green plasma. Obviously it is the most powerful weapon in the game, and is capable of destroying nearly any player or enemy with a single hit. Many games have tried to clone the BFG, but they are just never the same...


2. Plasmids - BioShock

As a huge BioShock fan, I just had to include this one. Plasmids are special abilities that you can use for many things. Coupled with actual weapons, these can be very deadly. My personal favorites are: telekinesis, incinerate, enrage, insect swarm. Catch rockets, light your foes aflame, turn them against each other, and call your bee swarm on them. Apparently, splicers are allergic to bee stings. Who knew?

1. Gravity Gun - Half Life Series

Seriously, what can't this gun do? If you're not familiar with the gravity gun, let me tell you a little bit about it. It's a weapon that lets you pull things towards it with its special gravity powers. Once you have them hovering in front of the gun you can launch them with ridiculous force towards whatever you like. Need some cover? Just grab a barrel. Low on ammo? Just fling chairs at the bad guys. This weapon is very creative and has more uses than I can count. It fully deserves its spot at number 1.

And there you have it. My list of the top 10 best video game weapons. Think I left out an important one? Leave a comment below. Honorable mentions include: Hammer - Super Smash Bros., Nail Gun - F.E.A.R., Redeemer - Unreal Tournament, Fatman - Fallout 3, Railgun - Quake, Fireballs - Mario games, Energy Sword - Halo, Hammer of Dawn - Gear of War
