well, Portal and Half Life 2 pretty much use the same physics engine. Admittedly, the lack of destructible physics can sometimes be a killjoy, but at least it opens up space for great jokes
why are we turning around?
Dr. freeman hit a locked door.
So? He just shoved a car that was blocking our path, but he cant get through a wooden door?He has a shotgun!

Even as a Half-Life fan, I definitely have to hand best physics to Crysis. Seeing a building blow up from the inside is always awesome, and looks much better than it does in Garry's Mod.
Second place goes to the Source engine. Specifically, I'd say Garry's Mod because of the level of things you can do in it.
Third, sorta goes to Havok, which is in a whole bunch of games.

Flynn Taggart is the name of the guy from Doom. Well, the name the books assigned him anyways.
I dunno about best physics engine, I'm apathetic to the idea of my video games mirroring reality. The first time I actually comprehended that it mattered in a video game was Dark Forces 1 (before Katarn had a beard). First time I ever remember a game having hand grenade physics, rocket sink, etc.

You have to set up some definition or criteria; are we talking about the game that has most realistic looking physics (meaning the simplest game could look incredibly realistic since it has so few parameters to imitate), or do you mean the most advanced physics engine (i.e. the most complex one, having to encompass a plethora of parameters, since it has to try to reproduce a vast and detail world)?
Why, Dead or Alive's breast physics, of course. *ducks flying objects*
In all seriousness, I loved Portal's physics engine. I'd nominate Half-Life's physics engine too, but I'm a little biased against it because I'm getting a little sick of doing that seesaw puzzle every two minutes.

I loved that in X-Com, there were so many wonderful strategies, most of them involved blowing something upKhell_Sennet said:
which of course made saving those civilians so damn hard, bloody alien grenades...
I couldn't really have a say because I've never really played many games with excellent physics in a while. All I know is that physics are damn hard to work with in 3Ds Max. >:l
team fortress 2. i love when i get sniped and suddenly, randomly, fly across the stage with twisted limbs. ahhh glitchy ragdoll physics...
why the hell do you all keep saying portal? sure, its a great game, but the physics engine in it hasant been anything special for a few years now. sure, its got the whole portal thing going, big freaking deal, but other that than the physics and physics engine are a bit outdated to say the least, still good, but outdated.
cellfactor, alan wake, crysis, ut3s tornado map all have much better physics and physics engines than portal/source, and thats not even going into all the games there are that have better physics/physics engines either.
