Yeah I'd have put those on the list, they epitomized the combat in God of War and it's Sequels/Prequels. Also aided in helping some shameless rip offs *ahem Ghost Rider, and Prince of Persia the Two Thrones ahem*. Give them some more utilitarian uses in GoW3 and we're good to go.

And the award for the most fanboyish statement ive heard in a while goes 2.............MESH1. Congratz on being an ignorant prick, fyi the GOW franchise has a vey SERIOUS storyline, SERIOUSly fun gameplay elements, SERIOUS production values, and a SERIOUSly badass leading character, so i think it pretty much justifies itself as a serious game.

Hmm...I think this is well deserved.

They might as well have started at #1, though, because as you go down the list, it can become more cluttered. This is a cool weapon, yeah, but it could have, possibly, missed the list. That gives it more suspense.

However, let's face it, there is no weapon in video games cooler than the X Buster (except maybe the Z Sabre, but its not nearly as many weapons in one). Anything else at the top would be terrible, but after #5, you just don't know what will or won't make it. The top ones are easy to see comming!

The Blades of Chaos could have been higher though, just because its so easy to recognize.

So far, its a good list, though. I look forward to the last 8.

6 - I can't think...

..of any really great weapons in console games but as for pc games, I'd go with the BFG 9000 from the classic Doom. For a completely off the wall #1, I'd take the Cane of Corpus from Wizardry 7. For RPG geeks it's +4 to hit, 14-16 damage, causes poison damage, crititcal hits (i.e. 1 hit kills), paralyze and can turn your opponent to stone. Only for Faerie ninjas (the hardest character to roll for in Wizardry as far as bonus points go), in the hands of a high level character it can easily do triple digit damage. The only other character who might kill more monsters by the end of the game is a mage with a Nuclear Blast or Asphyxiation spell. But still, you can't go wrong with the BFG 9000.
