Top 5 Video Game Weapons that Left Me Glued to My Console

 

1. Halo: Energy Sword

Over seven years have passed, but I still remember the day when I stepped into the shoes of the Arbiter in Halo 2 and lunged towards enemies that resulted in instant kills. First thought: HECK YEAH. Not only was it effective in campaign (especially against the Flood), wielding the sword during multiplayer jolted my adrenaline further as I constantly felt a surge of power when you unsheathed the deadly blade and tore opponents apart the moment the aiming circle turned red. With fast kills, intense matches, and the sneaky invis + sword combo, it is no surprise that this weapon’s popularity adheres until today. After all, sword sprees are always fun to achieve in any match.

2. Devil May Cry 4: Pandora

From ravaging projectiles to bazookas, laser cannons, and a boomerang that slices through anything, Pandora is without a doubt one deadly box of surprises. You name it and this enigmatic box has it – lets just hope that you are on Dante’s side of the battlefield when he lets it loose. Living up to its name, the animation for Dante’s demonic briefcase does not disappoint and if you have never played the game, I’ll just let the video below do the talking.

 

3. Gears of War: Mk 2 Lancer Assault Rifle

In the words of Marcus Fenix, “Fire up your Lancers, Delta.” An upgrade to the Mk 1 with the iconic chainsaw bayonet attachment, how can you not enjoy this advanced short and long-range classic? While there are a multitude of other weapons which I’m sure you Gears fans out there would prefer, the Lancer still tops my list due to the epic chainsawing animation and the new execution that was introduced in Gears of War 3. What’s better than enemy bits and some blood splatter across your screen?

4. Left 4 Dead 2: Guitar

TWANG! Crap, broke some strings but there goes a couple of zombie heads. The Dark Carnival chapter was definitely my favorite setting in L4D2 and once I got hold of the guitar, this six-string melee weapon was my new best friend. Sure, the damage isn’t as high as the other weapons, and bludgeoning a tank or witch is indeed suicidal but come on, you have to admit that watching your player decapitate zombies with an Ibanez is a little humorous and cool.

5. Half Life: Crowbar

The signature weapon of Gordon Freeman, and pretty much just as famous as he is when one speaks of Half Life, I have a high degree of sentimentality for the crowbar. Reliable when you’re short on ammo, convenient for ravaging through obstacles, puzzles and supply crates, this was one multi-talented weapon. Plus, it was always fun to play Whack-A-Headcrab with the crowbar.

A constant tumblr junkie ever since I created an account a couple of weeks ago. I'm an avid movie-goer, read a variety of books when I have the time and watch a range of television programs. Being the child of a father who owns more than 900 star wars/star trek and other sci-fi novels combined, as well as growing up alongside a brother who taught me to play video games since i was 8, its definitely hard NOT to love these genres.
