Smashiest glass!

Do you love breaking glass? We feel your pane. Every time we play a videogame, we have to shoot and melee every window or other potentially breakable object. The tinkle of shattering glass is like music to our ears. The sound of glass breaking is so bad-ass, even wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin uses it in his entrance song. When games do it right, there is little more satisfying than watching glass crash and fall into millions of pieces. In fact, we love it so much that we’ve compiled a smashy symphony of shattering glass for you to enjoy. Just press play!

Hahahaha! I don't know why, but for some reason I laughed so hard at the HL2 one, picking up the TV and chucking it out the window.

I think we, as humans, are compelled to break glass in games. It's a drug.

what? No challenges from Timesplitters 2 that revolved completely around breaking glass windows, even stained glass windows?

I know it was last generation, but i thought that was a shoo-in
