9 Video Game Guns That DON'T Kill

1. Portal Gun - Portal

As promised in the Medi-Gun entry, the top spot on this list is taken by another Valve creation and good flipping grief does it deserve it.

The Portal Gun is one of the greatest creations in all of video games. Such a simple concept, executed beautifully in two of the best puzzle games ever made. (Hell, remove the "puzzle" from that description and it would still be correct).

Valve played with the Portal Gun like virtuosos, using the basic concept of portal creation and constantly escalating it (literally, in the case of Portal 1's "ladder" puzzle and Portal 2's wild finale). Heck, the only other games to come close to doing the concept justice have all been crossovers!

The Portal Gun created so many good memories across the Portal duology that it fully deserves its lofty position in video game folklore. It was a triumph - we're making a note here, huge success.

If you've played the Portal games, you'll get that last sentence. If not, you're in for one hell of a treat when you finally do!
