9 Most Enjoyable Weapons In Video Games

8. Gravity Gun - Half Life

Any game that utilities its physics engine, allowing the player to actually experience and manipulate it deserves credit; Half Life and its "sister game" Portal definitely use physics to perfection. The Gravity Gun lets you attract environment objects and hurl them at the advancing combine, and later is infused with the ability to atomize enemies with "dark energy."

It's a shame this device is only available for non-cheaters at the closing end of the game, because it really is a lot of fun to crash enemies into one another and to push them into energy fields, although use of codes enables access earlier on, and to great effect. Cheating and getting this weapon on your initial train ride means being able to throw cans at the Combine soldiers heads even harder.
