18 Most Iconic Signature Moves In Video Game History

17. The Chainsaw Finisher - Gears Of War

Just look at it. The sheer gory glory of introducing a whirring chainsaw-gun to the flesh of the evil Locust remains one of gaming's most-owned-up-to guilty pleasures. Back when Gears was first demoed, series writer Joshua Ortega noted that the Lancer was "the new lightsaber" in terms of being a super-cool original weapon that would dominate mainstream entertainment. He wasn't wrong either, the rollickingly massive gun with under-mounted chainsaw belt became an instant favourite, catapulting Epic Games' baby into new realms of appreciation for gore-lovers around the world.
