I'm surprised there's no mention of Chris Redfield punching a boulder

All these moments especially with nut-shots, pot references and dildo weapons made me laugh so hard. Bro week is awesome!

not 2 be a whiner but cmon GR... not a Single COD:MW (1-2-3) Moment?? for one i fist-bumped with a bunch of bros when i/ price cut zakhaev's arm with a 50-cal. that shot was damn near impossible 2 the unpatient, so when u got it u just had 2 fist-bumb, or when soap puts a knife between Shepard's eye....

When I helped lure that giant snake monster on the Krogan home world to destroy a reaper... well let's just say my fist was raised and a Simple Minds song was playing in my head.

I was starting to get worried when I had not seen anything from SR3, but then you saved the best for last. A good list, but I do think that blowing up that Reaper in Mass Effect 3 deserves an honorable mention.

I agree!, Bulletstorm was the ultimate bro game. That and Gears. Nothing but pure awesomeness

I think brotastic week is one of my new favorite weeks. Also, killing any of the big cat-g akrid in lost planet 2.

Fighting off the MiB and saving your brother in OG Deus Ex. That was pretty epic because its easier to leave him for dead.

You mean in New York? You can just run into the hall and get killed (captured), then talk to Paul in the MJ12 lab and he escapes later. Don't actually need to fight any of them. Doesn't he get captured anyway, and as long as you talk to him in the lab he escapes?

Prototype 1 and 2 when you get your first Devastator. Also Prototype 2 where you find out you can rip the head of a tank of and smash it down to destroy it, and every finisher for the helicopters but a special one to the fact you can punch one into the air.

"Bulletstorm might just be the best game for bros ever made." No, it isn't. The problem with Bulletstorm was it was too smart for its own good. I'm guessing the people who loved the "bro" aspect of Bulletstorm were the same people who love Tarentino movies not because of the snappy dialog and clever parody but because they are super violent.

I agree to an extent... Though I hope the "smart for it's own good" comment was referred at the gameplay rather than the story >>; I loved that game, though I do think the story, while not bad per se, was taking itself way too seriously and was pretty at odds with the jokes and the action.
