Everyone talks about a specific game about how shit/awesome it is, whether they got chewing gum ads and whatnot but even if the game's crap, what would you say is your favorite ability in a 2010 game?
My nominees:
the vanguard's charge ability from Mass Effect 2
the rocket slide from Vanquish
the cinematic kills from Fable 3 (meh game but come on, those unique slow motion kills kicked ass)
Favorite move/ability of the year
If Fable gets the cinematic kills, can Bayonetta qualify for the attacks she uses to finish off bosses?
Good concept. I like your nominees, other than I haven't played Fable III so I can't speak to that.
I would also add the ice skates in Bayonetta. They're pretty fun.
My vote for best ability is charge ability for the vanguard in ME2. That ability single-handily made the game for me and allows for some seriously crazy fun. It made insane mode a pleasure to play. Well, it and area Reave.
I liked the part where all those ghosts where on my tail and then I turned around and ate them all AAAARGHHFFBLGRGH!!!

Immediately when i saw the topic i thought of Sam Gideon kicking A.I. ass in his uber-cool suit. Boosting in Vanquish was so fucking satisfying. Really a breath of fresh air for the TPS genre.

Bayonetta's volley-ball attack is my runner up, but my winner? Statue of Liberty's healing move from Costume Quest.

" @papercut said:In Lair of the Shadow Broker, the assassin you fight is a Vanguard who actually uses Charge. This gave me the chance to grin (as I was a Vanguard as well) and literally say out loud "Anything you can do, I CAN DO BETTER!" and charge her before lighting her up with my shotgun." I was thinking the Vanguard Charge before the page even loaded. "Ditto. Love love love love the Vanguard Charge. "
@StarvingGamer: Right? NOBODY beats Abe Lincoln AND a bald eagle!
grapple hook in Just Cause 2

I'm genuinely a pretty reserved guy, but I was laughing out loud and cheering during that entire sequence.
