Amazing Weapons - The Gaming Spectrum

Some weapons better stay on screen. For if they’re out in the real world, they’ll cause much more than annihilation…

LANCER ASSAULT RIFLE

From Gears of War

Yes, its most appealing feature is the Chainsaw Bayonet. Chainsaws are always fun… especially when they aren’t used the way they were intended to. The brutality of the weapon is incredible. Whether you’re hacking up Drones, Wretches or your best friend over Xbox Live, it will give you the kicks. And, in a way, it will let you be like Leatherface for a few hours…!

HAMMER OF DAWN

From Gear of Dawn

The only negative point of this gun is that it works only on a clear day, but when it fires, you can expect unexpected destruction! Linked to an orbiting satellite, it propels the satellite to shoot down a column of powerful beams from the sky to take out your enemy and just about everything else nearby. Obliteration time!

GRAVITY GUN

From Half-Life 2

Everything changed for us with the introduction of the Gravity Gun. Barrels and chunks of wall, which were supposed to be stationary objects in the past, became high-risk moving weapons. These non-moving elements when held up by the physics-enabled Gravity Gun, offered a great new way to destroy your enemies. It triggered the opening of that Pandora’s Box that hides all our sinister intentions.

BIG FORCE GUN 9000

From Doom and Quake

Better known as BFG, this mother of all weapons is not just any gun, but the brainwave of some brutal sadistic mind. Fortunately, it runs out of ammo pretty quick (want to imagine an extended ammo base?), but then one shot is enough to wipe out an entire half filled with bad guys. You won’t be able to stop yourself from laughing maniacally every time you hit ‘FIRE’… Hee haa!
