The most fist bump-worthy moments in gaming history

Getting a melee kill with most weapons in Gears are almost badass enough to warrant a fist bump, but they happen frequently enough that you should save it for something special. A dual kill with the Lancer is just such an occasion, since it not only involves chainsawing a guy into a bloody mess, but also teamwork with your closest bro.

Any sharpshooter worth his salt can kill a bear with enough shotgun shells and moonshine, but what if you want to take hunting to the EXTREME? Then you need to pull out your best knife and fight that bear on his terms. If you can pull that off without being mauled, you earned your self one hell of a fist bump, bro.

Army of Two might be remembered as a merely adequate third-person shooter, but what it gave to the bros of the world can't be denied. Perhaps the series ultimate expression of broness is the sequel's game-ending Achievement/Trophy. Give your friend enough props during the campaign and you'll be close enough to finish the game as best friends, which earns you Total Fist Bump Destruction, dude!

Rapping is a skill many bros want to learn but most likely never will. That's why virtually freestyling to perfection as Parappa is worth kudos as you and your bros watch the ridiculous environmental effects ramp up. It's especially worth the bro-accolade if you do it in the first stage, as it fulfills another bro dream: impressing a martial arts instructor.

QTEs have been overused to the point of being particularly banal and un-awesome, but even recent games like the latest Ace Combat can find something bro-worthy to do with them. After saving America from destruction, the player is met with adoring crowds and promted to press a button. The hero then raises his fist in the air in celebration. If only we could press another button to fist bump him ourselves.

When it comes to mainstream gaming, few titles have approached sex scenes with the style and vigor of the God of War series. Pretty much any time Kratos has knocked boots is worthy of bros recognizing it via their fists, but if we had to choose one, it's Kratos getting with the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Bedding a deity is an achievement few mortals (or demigods) live to brag about.

Aside from Striker, no Mortal Kombat character is more fitting for bros than Johnny Cage. Clearly inspired by Jean-Claude Van Damme, he stays true to his roots with his split punch basically ripped straight out of the film Bloodsport. Making a fighter double over in groin pain is extreme enough to earn that player a fist bump (even from the victim).

Vanquish took third person shooters so far into the danger zone that we're still catching our breath. The shooting mechanic was top notch, but bros that go for the ultimate want to get up close and personal. After flying at an enemy on rocket skates, one punch will blow a bad guy to bits in a hail of awesomeness.

Garcia "F***ing" Hotspur is one of the baddest men on the planet and the best demon hunters alive. Him and his sidekick Johnson kill monsters in many ways that involve the juvenile humor bros love. Most are entertaining, but when we enter the cinematic of Garcia kicking a monster in the crotch till it dies, that's worth a fist bump and a half by our estimation.

Bulletstorm might just be the best game for bros ever made. Starring a space marine dedicated to finding increasingly creative ways to swear and murder people, one particularly scatological Skillshot takes the cake. Just stun a miniboss, kick him in the butt, then shoot said butt. You'll be dealing out fist bumps left and right in no time.

Dead Rising 2's hook for zombie murder was combining items to make increasingly off the wall weapons. Many were bro-approved, like MMA gloves covered in nails, but the most deserving of a fist bump involves a leaf blower and a... marital aid. Together they form the Super Massager, a gun that shoots surprisingly deadly adult projectiles at unsuspecting zombies. Score!

Every game needs their own spin on killing zombies if it's going to stand out, even if it's just a costume change. Yakuza's post-apocalyptic side game Dead Souls was all about clearing zombies from the streets of Tokyo, but it's really about America once you download this costume. Destroying zombies on behalf of America is worth a fist bump (or the terrorists win).

Mario is an all ages franchise, but bros can still find a way to test themselves. In Mario 3, after defeating each Koopaling, a wand falls from the sky. If you can catch it before it hits the ground, you just earned yourself a fist bump.

Firefights while skydiving. Driving with a tiger in the passenger seat. Blowing up furries in golf carts. Streaking down city streets with a dildo bat. Basically every moment is worth bros bumping fists, which is probably why we gave it a 10 last year. Saints Row The Third, we salute you the only way we know how *extends fist awaiting a bump*.
