"5. Final Fantasy VIII - The Gun Blade

This weapon made the list because it is likely the most impractical weapon ever created in a video game.

"CVG learns that British Fantasy award winning author Graham Joyce is penning id's new Doom.

Cast your minds back to May 2007 when id Software announced it was working on another entry in the Doom series. Not a lot was said apart from, "Doom is part of the id Software DNA and demands the greatest talent and brightest minds in the industry to bring the next instalment of our flagship franchise to Earth."
