Power: BFG or UT Redeemer (so sweet)

Accuracy + power: rail gun or UT sniper rifle

Most useless: little charging pistol in Blake Stone (might be before many of you people's time). You'd take one crappy shot, then have to wait for the little gun to recharge. Might was well throw poo at the aliens.

Fun: grav gun in HL2 or the Chainsaw in Doom/ Doom III

Best all-rounder: steyr aug in CS

Best sound: Rocket launcher in original doom.

Favourite: Taser from Syphon Filter (Playstation) Sure, I could just kill a man, but why stop there, when you could keep pumping thousands of volts into him until he catches fire, and gently roast him. :D

Useful: Railgun on Red Faction. You can see through walls. You can kill through walls.

Gravity gun goes without saying, but I also love about a dozen weapons from the Rachet series. Glove of Doom, Heavy Bouncer, and the Turrent Gloves come to mind.

I also like the Flak Cannon from the Unreal series, of course. The Rail Gun from Q2 was awesome, especially when you nail a flag-carrier in CTF just as he or she is grappling away from your base.

Doom 3's weapons sucked. I also had little interest in what Far Cry had to offer.
