9 Most Inventive Kills In Gaming

3. Dishonored - Being An Assassin

Somehow, this image doesn't seem to fit the tone of the game.

Dishonored can be regarded as the best assassin game ever released. It gives you much more control than any Hitman or AC ever could. Thus, your hits are concluded in a much more organic way. Sure, if you're a real psycho, you can kickstart a fight with the guards and rip them all to pieces (hardly possible). However, Corvo can climb and sneak around as if he's a victorian Splinter Cell agent. You're given a great set of tools that will aid you on your journey; they allow every player to tailor the experience to their own liking, and this is the source of those fluid and organic kills that just happen on the way.

For example, you can throw a guard off the rooftop, then slow down time and blink on top of him. Then slash his throat while free falling. There was this one fight where the giraffe walker (tall mech dudes with whale oil canisters) caught me with my pants down in a library. As wrong as that sentence might sound, stay with me for a moment. Facing these as*holes directly in combat is a suicide. Instead, I blinked on top of the shelves and jumped across them towards the giraffe mech. Unfortunately, the damn thing shot me and stopped me in my tracks.

I was able to freeze time again, though, and throw a grenade. Since I threw it in an especially jerky manner, it flew way over the giraffe's head. Time freeze to rescue again. I randomly fired a bullet into the grenade and it blew up the whale oil canister on the dude's back, exploding him to death. Fun!
