Every game has certain actions that you can perform that are unique to that particular game. They can be funny or give you a rush of energy. What is your particular favorite action and what game does it come from?

My favorite would have to be from Duke Nukem. Armed with a remote control flash grenade, you walk into the restroom. Not opening the stall doors (there are aliens in the stalls), I toss a grenade over the stall doors. Then BAM!!, I activate the flash grenade, with the toilets exploding and the aliens are history:D

Ahhh yes .... great moments in videogames .... There are waaaaaaaaaaaay to many to mention here, basically every platformer and FPS has several great moves and/or moments ... Some hilarious others just plain astonishing ..... Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, FF, MGS, SF the list goes on .... Sorry but I can't single out one as my fave :)

Sniping enemies in Soldier of Fortune and in Max Payne. When the enemy least expects it, bam.

In the first "Dark Forces" game I loved played the Gromas Mines level - at that part when you've just exited the structure and you're on that wide ledge with a ton of stormtroopers below you. You crouch down and chuck thermal grenades over the ledge... if you're playing on a high difficulty level, the floor below will be COVERED in stormtrooper bodies by the time you're through.

Can't forget Army Men: Sarges Heroes 2, where you can snipe each other, throw grenades, etc. Boy, do we have this ambush thing down to a science:D

The same action can be said for Army Men: Sarge's Heroes for the N64. I love sniping out enemies in this game, or, if I can't snipe them out, flush them out with a hand grenade.

I like to snipe the Gerudo Pirates with arrows, then go in the fortress. It makes for an interesting game of cat-and-mouse. Though it's more interesting going hand-to-hand with the Gerudos as they are excellent swordsmen (or ladies in this case :D )

:lol: That pretty much goes for me in any game. Sniping is my favorite past-time. GTA3 brings it to a whole new level. They walk around for a second until they realize they no longer have heads. :D

Ahh...One other action that can't go without mentioning....using the chainsaw in Doom.

My favorite action is to set it on Death Incarnate level, grab the chainsaw at the beginning of the level, and start sawing away at the baddies:D, especially the flaming skulls and other huge monsters.

Sometimes defeating the hardest enemies in the most pathetic way is the most amusing, such as doing a fistfight with a robot:goofy:
