Angry Gamer's Top 5 Video Game Weapons of All Time!

Video gaming history is riddled with kickass weapons. Some transform, some call forth demons, some are just bigass swords. Either way, video game weaponry is always a welcome topic here. So, I've taken a little time to slap together a quick list of delicious tools of destruction. I'd just like to point out that this list is personal, so if you disagree, you have two options:
1: Leave a polite comment with your opinion
2: Suck it.

So, let us begin :)

#5:Hidden Blade- Assassin's Creed 2/Brotherhood.
This weapon is very simple, yet elegant and deadly. It can be used for stealthy kills, or something a tad... messier. With the gameplay mechanics of Assassin's Creed, it's a grand old weapon. Immensely fun to use. The weapon is low on the list, though, because while it is amazingly cool, it is simple, in use and in plot. Not a whole lot of story behind this, other than the fact that it was a gift from daddy.

#4: Blaze Edge- Final Fantasy XIII

Blaze Edge was something cool and refreshing for Final Fantasy fans. Gunblades have been a popular reoccurring weapon in the series. But this is the first time where it could diversify from ''gun'' and ''blade''. I could put gunblades in general on this list, cuz they're pretty cool. But this refined version is definitely a top contender. (C'mon, Lionheart looked a little silly.)

#3: Soul Edge- Soulcalibur 2&3



I chose these two versions of Soul Edge to take the number 3 spot, mostly because the II version was refined from the original, so you could actually see how badass it looked, rather than seeing a poorly-rendered greenish blob. The III version carried on the badassery, but with a more sinister look to it. That handle is made of bone! Freaky-deaky.

I chose these weapons for the list not only for their appearance, but because of the story behind them. Soul Edge destroys nations, it destroys friendships and families, and it has the potential to destroy the world. It's that kind of dark, brooding, slightly over-used back story that really makes them appealing. The IV version, however, didn't cut it. It shared the story, but lost the look. Sorry pal, gotta have both.






#2: Vampire Killer- The Castlevania Series.

Simon Belmont's ultimate tool of destruction and favourite fetish item, Vampire Killer has been synonymous with badass since Akumajo Dracula was first launched in 1986. This is for a few reasons, much more than just appearance (seriously, it's a leather f**kin' whip!). Vampire Killer is an artifact passed down through generations of vampire hunters in the Belmont clan (with a few exceptions). The whip has a certain modesty to it as well. Taking down hoards of Hell's minions with nothing but a strip of dead cow hide has a certain charm to it.




If you have trouble figuring out the Castlevanian storyline, I'll probably post that later. Just throwing that out there. <3




#1: Red Queen- Devil May Cry 4

Now, Red Queen takes the cake for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, it's unique. How often do you see a gas-powered sword with a handle chop-shopped from a motorbike? Seriously! It's frickin' cool! The Exceed System in the game was truly intense. It was a great high-risk, high-reward system. It left you open for attack, while could crush enemies like flies when used properly. Duh, winning. Furthermore, the sword itself is gorgeous. Look at it. If it were a woman, I'd tap that. Might have some scars to explain after the affair, but it'd be totally worthwhile.

So, that's my list! if you have anything you'd like to share with me, feel free to comment after reading. AFTER reading. Please don't jump the gunblade.
