"Press _ to takedown".

Melee takedowns. Great stuff. What are some of your favorites? 

Mine are:

Bloodstone (It was half of their marketing)  
Goldeneye remake (Think it did it better than killzone 3. PG13 brutal is always good).  
Enter the Matrix (Slowmo neck break is always good).  
Assassin's creed 2 (dual poky ftw).  
Alpha Protocol (Brutal awesomeness)  
Hitman Bloodmoney (Only pros can kill people by pushing them into the pool)

Yours?

Chainsaw to the chest, GoW, if you can call that a melee takedown. Otherwise I'd probably say From Russia With Love, partially because I just really like that game.

Killzone 3, gouging out a dude's eyes with your thumbs never gets old.

The final boss of Condemned.

You can't beat ripping off a guys jaw and then his spine! Stuck with me for 6 years.

@Azteck: I disagree, chainsaw up the butt in Gears 2 was much better.

Stabbing a dude in the eye and twisting the blade is pretty awesome. Especially in video games such as Killzone 3.

I really dug the first person takedowns in Goldeneye Wii. Some really cool looking CQC stuff going on there. Similarly, some of the ones in The Bourne Conspiracy were great. I laughed way too hard at smashing a guy's head into a photocopier.  Arkham Asylum's got loads of them, too.  
 
For the hack and slash crowd, pretty much all of Ninja Gaiden 2. Good lord.

I'm going to be honest, I almost half expect this thread title to have been generated by this thing. In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised if this exact title could be theoretically generated by it.
 
That being said, my vote just goes to the entirety of God Hand. The game probably has a bit of an unfair advantage since melee is kinda sorta what the entire game is about, but the finishing moves you can sometimes trigger are usually quite hilarious and fantastic. Very classy to have gender detection so you can only spank the lady enemies to oblivion!

Lots of love for God of War in this thread, but I'm gonna go with that one boss in GOW2 where you slam a door shut on his head a dozen times. Fucking awesome.
