In honor of the March Madness, also known as the NCAA Basketball Tournament, BluePai and myself are going to have a NCAA style bracket for the best weapons in video games! Any and all weapon ideas are welcome. Maybe a Light Saber from your favorite Star Wars game? How about the Battle Rifle from Halo 3?
We will take suggestions for a week or two and come up with a bracket featuring YOUR favorite weapons! Once we have the weapons chosen, we will put up a post with a poll for you to vote on what you think is the better weapon. You can vote however you like.
The more input that we are able to get, the bigger and better the Tournament of Weapons will be. So please leave your comments, and tell your friends to check us out!
(Please note that no vehicles will be taken into consideration as a weapon.)
Hookshot from Zelda. We have a winner.
ReplyDeleteI took you more for a deck of cards from Gambit kind of guy.
ReplyDeleteI always liked Samus' Grapple Beam in Super Smash Bros. My husband says the Reaper from Perfect Dark for pure silliness factor.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say either the Portal Gun from Portal, or the Spear Gun from Bioshock 2. I found few very weapons as fun or satisfying to use as those two.
ReplyDeleteSephiroth's Masamune. Although you never get to use it, it just looks too badass.
ReplyDeleteThe BOOT from Bulletstorm. Also the Cain from Mass Effect and the sword-tail from FFIX.
ReplyDeleteBlades of Chaos - God of War Series
ReplyDeleteRed Shell - Mario Kart
I figure the more I suggest here, the more likely it is that one I like will eventually win. SO Zaalbar's family heirloom bowcaster from KOTOR, the dual fans from Dynasty Warriors and any blue lady's biotics from Mass Effect but primarily Samara's.
ReplyDeleteGrappling hook from Tomba!
ReplyDeletePlasma cutter from Dead Space B|
ReplyDeletePost as often as you want for this one, people!
ReplyDeleteGunblade - FFVIII
Sticky Grenade - Halo
Pipe Bomb - Left 4 Dead
Squirt Gun - Zombies Ate My Neighbors
(By the way, excellent call on the Plasma Cutter)
ReplyDeleteI was going to say gunblade but then I figured that no one really likes FFVIII as much as I do haha.
ReplyDeleteFirst seeker, CTR
ReplyDeleteI see matthew's "sephiroth's masamune" and raise him "frog's masamune" from chrono trigger. Also bao-dur's crazy electric arm from KOTOR 2 and not only because I wanted to hit that like the fist of an angry god (but mostly because of that).
ReplyDeleteI am thinking I have to put down the Rock-It-Launcher from Fallout 3. Nothing like shooting anything from plates to tin cans at your enemies.
ReplyDeleteThree letters, four numbers, one hell of a gun. The BFG-9000 from Doom.
ReplyDeleteMario - Fire Flower
ReplyDeleteCastle Crashers - Fish
Zelda - Master Sword
ReplyDeleteGoldeneye 007 - Remote Mines
Plants vs Zombies - threepeater
ReplyDeletePerfect Dark - Farsight
ReplyDeleteGoldeneye 007 - golden gun
Would Yoshi be considered a weapon or vehicle?
ReplyDeleteKirby - Kirby.
ReplyDeleteDa Bomb - NFL Blitz. Since you always win with just that play (it's a weapon in its own way)
In response to Sephiroth's Masamune, Cloud's Buster Sword - FFVII.
Slappers Only! and Paintball Gun - GoldenEye 007.
Killing Edge - Fire Emblem.
Angry Birds - Yellow Bird
ReplyDeleteduh.
ToeJam & Earl - Slingshot Tomatoes
ReplyDeleteActually, another Doom (...II) inclusion - the Super Shotgun. Twenty years on and it still has one of the best reloading sounds I've ever heard in a game. Observe! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4VHUXV77hA

ReplyDeleteCerebral Bore - Turok
Energy sword - Halo
