As anyone who has played Fallout 3 can tell you, war never changes. If there is one question that has been kicked around between gamers on more than one occasion it’s about the items and weapons we see in the video games we play. After all, what could be better than actually getting your hands on the toys we get to watch our favorite video game characters use on a daily basis? The answer of course is having them and there would be few things cooler than having access to a real Lancer, as terrifying to the general population as that would be. But, in the meantime, I’ll keep it brief so I can get on to the weapons and hopefully, it just might make you wonder what exactly your favorite is too.
10. Assassin’s Wrist Blade (Assassin’s Creed / 2): Every single person at one time or another has wanted to be the badass in a cloak, standing in a crowd or creeping along in the shadows on a mission of the utmost secrecy and importance. The kind of mission where anyone who discovers you instantly becomes expendable and has to be dragged into the darkness never to be seen again, at least until another hapless guard discovers his friend prior to being disappeared himself. Point being, one of the best concealed weapons as far as video games is concerned is the assassin’s blade, hidden up the sleeve of the assassin who carries it. Mounted on the wrist and forearm of the user, the original Assassin’s Creed depicts the wielder as missing a finger so as to increase the amount of concealment to the weapon. In the sequel however, this has been remedied and it seems that the engineering has been improved allowing for the same lethality without any necessary removal of phalanges. Point being, this is a scary ass weapon in the fact that in a span of a few seconds, you can go from being a rather healthy individual to having a gaping wound somewhere in your body. Personally, I don’t think there is anything worse than being stabbed as far as physical attacks go and having a blade punch into your body is not the way I want to go. But as far as psychological weapons and concealment, this is probably the best item of choice for either the expert or fledgling Assassin on the go with a target to eliminate.
9. Cricket Bat (Left 4 Dead 2): Killing zombies is fun. If you disagree with this statement, get out of my top 10 list now. I’m serious, if you’re some sort of activist for zombies’ rights thinking they should be allowed to wander the Earth, feeding on the flesh and brains of the living, time for you to leave. Now that the zombie lover’s are gone, I can talk seriously to the people who have a zombie plan, know to aim for the head and remember that having some means of defending yourself from the legions of the undead is a must. That all being said, the cricket bat is probably one of the best melee weapons anywhere, ever and I mention that not just because I’m a ravenous fan of Shaun of the Dead, but because wading through the masses of the infected is a slice of fun pie that if you haven’t devoured, you should be ashamed of yourself. Yeah, there will always be more suitable weapons for dealing with crowds of creatures who will just about trample each other to freaking eat you, but a good whack from a cricket bat will be more than enough to satisfy your urge to slaughter the undead, at least until you move on to the next zombie who messes with you.
