    I think i'm in love with the Paddle Saw,

     though the Air Horn is pretty fun as well. The two weapons I enjoy using the most, however, are probably the wooden barrels and the brick. Watching a crowd of zombies stumbling around in wooden barrels is fucking hilarious, even more so if you then try and knock them down with a bowling ball. Epic zombie killing.  

    No Caption Provided

    The brick is surprisingly powerful, though it's durability is pretty terrible. I just like how fucking gritty it is, and the sound of exploding heads when it connects.   
     
    And no, "The Brick" is not the new name for my penis. My penis already has a name, thank you.
      

    What's your favourite skull-crushing toy, giantbomb?

    I must say that the trusty Spiked Bat carried me through most of the time, I usually had two on me at all times. And I must say I love how they improved the firearms, since you can actually MOVE when aiming! Paddlesaw and Air Horn also did their jobs right.

    The sledgehammer is pretty devastating, but the best weapon in the broad sword. Jumping up in the air and slashing a zombie in half is pretty gruesome.

    For killing, the normal spiked bat or broadsword
     
    For comedic effect, take a stickpony, use the alternative attack and then take a servbot helmet and put it on the same Zombie
     
    Or try the alternative attack of the Kitchen Knife

    The kitchen knife is also amazingly awesome! Love the little chords that play in time to each stab :D

    The moose head is useful, because Chuck sprints when you use it. 
    Boomstick secondary attack gets you 2500pp per use, so that one is quite good and probably my favourite!

    A skull-crushing weapon? Are there any!?
     
    I'd go for the broadsword's heavy attack, slicing a zombie clean in half is just too epic to pass-up.

    I really liked the electric rake, and the servbot helmet. The stick pony surprised me too. But shooting a zombie with a pistol feels pretty satisfying in that game, if not very effective.

    For actual use, spiked bat. It lasts for awhile and kills zombies in one hit. The bat can also get you through a large group. For fun, however, paddle saw!

    Haven't tried all the weapons yet.
    Lawn darts are pretty cool, and the Drill Bucket is funny but my favorite so far are playing cards, completely useless and the worst weapon to ever have against a shitload of zombies surrounding you.

    i liked the bow and arrow a lot. simply because id go and chill with bob and just see how many arrows i could fit into a zombie before it died. it'd be cool if you could combine it with the bowie knife or broadsword or something and shoot blades. i think thatd be hilarious

    Drill Bucket is probably the funniest I've found so far. But I feel like I haven't even seen half of the weapons yet.

    The Moose Head is a Dead Rising-ass Dead Rising weapon, which is exactly why I love it so. It's just insane seeing the guy wearing that on his head and mowing down zombies the way he does.   
     
    Pragmatically, though, I'd have to side with the Spiked Bat. Thing seems to last for ages.

    I'd always leave the safe house at the beginning with the sniper rifle and 2 or 3 spiked bats.  The spiked bat is an amazing weapon for PP grinding, clearing crowds, whatever.  The sniper rifle, despite it's name, is a better shotgun than the shotgun was.
     
    For just being cool, the broadsword is nice, because it slices them zombies in whichever direction.  Take that Metal Gear Rising!  Didn't get to play with the moose head much though.  Moose head + knives for the full game though?  I hope there's something like that in there.

    @WhytePanther:
    There's a combo that involves creating a flaming Bull skull of some sort, that I can only hope works like the moose head.

    Favorite weapon for me is the chef's knife.  When the full game comes out, I'll have to try and find a good outfit to go with that alternate attack.

    Sledgehammer's one of my favourite. Spiked bat for its practical use, too. Though I'll switch it up sometimes because this is one game where using the same weapon for so long will get dull damn quick. The large wrench is a satisfying weapon to use, too. 
     
    Also bowling ball!

    I'm pretty partial to the Drill-Bucket myself. I really like the IED/nail bomb too, gets good PP too.
     
    I'm looking forward to seeing what other crazy combos are in the game.

    Heavy attack with the wrench is just brutal - it makes me wonder why they didn't add heavy strike for the crowbar.

    Liked the boomstick & electric rake a lot from having the ability to also kill off the nearby zombies if they're close enough. For the mundane/muggle weapons I thought that the bowling ball (for the comedy bowling attack) & the wrench (for the wicked cool amount of durability to the weapon) were also at the top of the list for me.

    Paddle saw is definitely the best. Second best is the electrified rake. And third is the sword.
     
    No, I take that back. Third best is when you just have a chainsaw, and Chuck does that pretty little ballerina spin.

    I used the Spiked bat more than anything. The broadsword is a close second though, with the Nail + propane tank combo being very fun... Sticking that thing in the back and luring the zombie into a crowd and then.... BOOM
