pretty self-explanatory, but what games have the most realistic, varied, and/or unique explosion effects?

this came to me when looking at the Split/Second images, all of which have some sort of pyro going on, but was just curious as to what else is out there.

Any JRPG final/ultimate/super-duper attack/summon/game-specific-special-attack.

Those motherfuckers usually explode the whole solar system or some shit.

Far Cry 2, or maybe Crysis if you like a good nuke.

Godfather 2's explosions were the only good thing about that game.

Mercs 2's nuke was the best part of the game, no joke. I was in awe upon seeing that for the first...and second time.

Mercs 2 is cool, but the explosions in it are canned, unlike Red Faction Guerrilla's. I haven't played B:BC but I think Ryan or Jeff has mentioned it has sweet explosions.

Most unique and LARGE explosions I can remember back in the day came from Starfox 64.
Now, I really am digging Red Faction: Guerilla's explosions.

I think those nuclear-reactive explosions, not even the detonation of Megaton, in Fallout 3 are spectacular!

I thought that Mercenaries on the PS2 has some of the best explosions last gen.

Also, where's the love for 2D games? Metal Slug, yeah!

Bad Company was pretty amazing. The sound design was what made it stood out.

I recall GRAW having really impressive explosions. The sound and look combined made it really impactful. Haven't had a rig to run Crysis though, so I can't say for sure.
