Let us run through this list really quick as I need to have a chat with eBay.
7 - Hammer of Dawn - Gears of War 2 - This gun is basically the closest thing to a gun that shoots lightning can get. You hold the gun, aim the laser and Jesus does the rest. After the initial targeting time goes off a massive laser comes from the sky and obliterates anything remotely close to it. The only drawback is that it doesn't fire indoors. But think about this: How much of Gears' maps are inside of a box. Most of the time you are outside doing your thing, and the Hammer only hurts the process if you don't get killed by razorhail or a train on a 30 second speed heist.
6 - The Blue Shell - Mario Kart - Any time you feel you take the lead, this anti-happiness rock can come in and take it away from you. Remember those times when, if you actually played the Wii, where you would fight the good fight to get up to first place and then when you have a good enough lead, you feel you have won it, only to have it all taken away from you by an angry man who thinks that it is a good idea to derail the top racer. That isn't so bad, it's the hatemail afterwards.
5 - The Prophet of Regret - Halo Wars - Anyone who has played Halo Wars knows what it is I am talking about. The Prophet, right off the bat, has the ability to hover over to your base, at an alarming rate, and take out anything you may have started building. While this is counterable, only a true ranked player would be able to counter it, leaving the newbie to fend for himself when all that the player wants is a good online experience, not Baby Tactics.
4 - Sheep - Worms - Now this little ball of destruction is packed with enough damage to do more than half of the damage needed to kill a worm in one shot. But that isn't so bad. It is that fact the thing is a coin toss on who it is going to kill. It starts of walking out straight, but it will randomly turn or jump leaving you either defenseless or leaving you with a feeling of stupidity. It isn't that bad though. an enjoyable weapon, but it hurts.
3 - Excalibur - Final Fantasy Series - This sword ended everything. Anytime you had difficulty near the end of one of these gems, you would inevitably find the Excalibur. Case and Point: Final Fantasy Tactics. Right as soon as you get the strongest character in the game, is where the game really begins. I received the sword and the person I equipped it to grew three levels anytime one of my regulars grew one. It made balancing the game very hard. My solution was to not use it altogether.
2 - Every gun in Prototype - Now Prototype isn't really a bad game, but the balancing of weapons to your characters superpowers is extremely noticeable. I maxed out my hammerfist ability and I still am able to do more all around damage with the grenade launcher, Because the guns are all around. While the Multiple abilities are useful in there own way, one bullet from any gun is an instant death to any infantry, and two shots from a grenade launcher takes out any tank or helicopter. Quicker, more efficient and less aggravating than using the archaic targeting system.
1 - The B Button - Gears of War 2 - I CANNOT STRESS enough how annoying it is to have to deal with this every time I sign onto public matchmaking. While Gears has a huge number of matchmaking problems to deal with, the one they are complained to about the most? Chainsaws. Imagine if you were to take out the B button altogether, how the game would actually be a SHOOTER? Now I am not saying that you need to not put melees in a shooter to make it a shooter, but in a game where you always have a very little amount of health, the melee takes away way too much to be considered skill. Just take it away.
