Top 10 Video Game Weapons of All Time

Shooters have been growing more and more popular in recent years and a big part of that genre is obviously the weapons. With gameplay that can often start to feel repetitive after a certain number of hours, game developers keep things fresh by gradually giving gamers access to new and more interesting weapons as the game progresses. Most good games tend to have one or two really cool weapons that fans remember using even years later. Here are the top 10 most memorable weapons from video games:

10) Crowbar (Half-Life)

The crowbar may not be the strongest weapon on this list but it is one of the most iconic. Ask any old school gamer which character is best known to wield a crowbar and most will probably be able to tell you right away the answer is Gordon Freeman from Half-Life. Just Google the words “Gordon Freeman” on Google images and you’ll see the majority of pictures show him clutching this weapon. The only thing that typifies Freeman more is perhaps his HEV Suit. The crowbar is the first weapon this geeky scientist ever holds and it retains its usefulness throughout the game as it can break crates to find supplies, break boards that are blocking your path, or take out flying headcrabs without wasting precious ammunition.
