8 Secret Video Game Horror Weapons That Broke All The Rules

2. Enlarge Your Johnson - Shadows Of The Damned

Now. Very few opportunities in life present themselves to talk about how a video game drops the entire premise of guns just appearing phallic, and instead just out and out tells you "this gun in your !*$%", so of course, I'm going to relish talking about Shadows Of The Damned!

Johnson, you sentient floating skull of a friend is, at every turn, almost hamfistedly so, referenced with such sexual innuendo that it's impossible not to see him as Garcia the demon hunters penis. Hell his base form is called The Boner so it's hardly subtle.

However as this ludicrous TV ad showed, you can ENLARGE your Johnson through the use of special gems. Collecting enough of these would let you upgrade Johnson in several ways, each of which making him more powerful and deadly.

Now Shadows Of The Damned is a horror game that definitely focuses on making you feel like a badass, so is already breaking a lot of the genres own rules, but when Johnson is fully dick-I mean decked out, he's so utterly overpowered he can legitimately break the game! Sure you might be facing down an undead horde, but when you can throw out 4 skull bombs that would level a skyscraper, it's not exactly scary.
