What shooter could be complete without its pistol? OK, Metroid Prime, quit staring like that. The industry standard for shooters, especially 3D shooters, calls upon developers to craft single-chamber, clip-loaded handguns ranging from the common to the insane, from the useless to the ungodly powerful. Not to be confused with hand cannons, magnums, or semi-automatic subs, pistols hold an important and often underrepresented role in the storied tradition of videogame weapons. That's why the Top 5 Takedown has dedicated this round to the craziest and most notable pistols in gaming.
Resident Evil 5 launched 15 years ago today - and it continues to stand as a stepping stone from the good to the bad.
One of my favourites because of the co-op. Then Resi 6 arrived and the series nosedived further.
I enjoyed the game co-oping with a friend I know the game in solo the AI can be an idiot but RE5 is way better then RE6. I played RE6 with a friend if it wasn't cheap when I got I would have avoided RE6.
5 was excellent, still play Mercs with my brother.
I would love a fully remastered RE:5, with some added, reworked content. The DLC for 5 was also excellent.
6 was awful.
I never understood why the game was misunderstood. It was a fantastic game at launch and is still fun today to play. It’s as action packed as Resident Evil 4 was, yet that’s regarded a masterpiece 🤷♂️
it was "misunderstood" because they introduced co-op into the franchise at a time when people loved to have fake rage about co-op. like, you could play the game as a solo experience, but people chose to have their bandwagon rage because it was cool at the time lol
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
So, where is the Deagle from Counter-Strike?
Great choices. When I saw the pistol from Combat Evolved was second I was like, "But that was a Godly pistol. What could be better?" Then I saw the Golden Gun. Fully agree.
Awesome choices. And before I even read it I predicted the Golden Gun would be #1. How could it not be?
