The bit in the Citadel at the end of Half Life 2. You know which bit I mean.
I was so disappointed when I played saw that my Gravity Gun had turned yellow in Episode 1...

In Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask if you collect all the masks during the end sequence you can trade them all in and get the Oni-Link mask. It basically transforms link into a demigod with a two-handed sword that shoots energy disks whenever he swings it. The final boss fight is a joke. I wish you could use the mask outside of boss fights just to see everyone's reaction.

This is an easy one:

#1: Torchlight
- Right off the bat, it's hard to kill you. On top of that, good weapons litter the first "dungeon" and they get better as you progress. I was dualwielding "pistols" and killing everything in the "dungeon" without breaking a sweat... FIRST LEVEL!!!

#2: Metroid Prime
- Once you get the Plasma Beam and/or the Flamethrower, going through Phendrana Drifts and fighting Sheegoths becomes less of a chore and more of a fun way to exercise Samus' arm cannon.

#3: Soul Calibur II
- Link, Nightmare, Kilik, and various other characters with healing weapons. If you're good enough with them, then the healing just becomes redundant because you'll be taking little to no damage and just heal it up. Nightmare vs. Nightmare, both with Soul Caliburs and having a 5-Win game can take up most of an hour.

#4: Smash Bros. Brawl
- On most characters, getting the Smash Ball just screams "Overpowered".

That's all I can think of at this moment. :D

Or, me choosing Jedi consulor, (and subsequently Sith Lord) the final hours of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II showed me how pitiful everything was against Force Storm. That had to be the cheapest move...

Puzzle Quest, as a druid, endgame, with tons of board manipulation, a God rune, and Web. It reaches the point where I counted a failure as letting my opponent take a turn.

agree. Master Speed + double blade or dual sabers + Master Flurry = 5 Attacks per round, which is basically 1-hit-kill for all but the bosses.

Gonna add in Champions of Norrath. Played an archer, pretty much as soon as I got my crit spell up to 50% or so, it was just mass-devastation.
Champions of Norrath... 3rd time through the game... duping in best augments (but the second best Misty as the best is bugged to 90% miss rate due to 100% haste...) and then copying them to a level 1 character. XD (Nothing like the augs being 2 or 3 times the damage power of the weapon it is in...)

Morrowind(xbox) Having my lvl 106 redguard vampire, could run/jump across the map in 2-3 min (used the longsword master trainer glitch and mudcrab to make the money)

After years of sharing literally 1 cannon between my two medium-sized armies as the Kingdom of Italy (Napoleon: Total War) I finally got enough money rolling in each turn to build an armoury, and then lots of cannon

I had 5 cannon pieces and a howitzer (cross between cannon and mortar, lobs the balls at a high trajectory). The enemy army had nothing

I opened fire

Seriously, usually cannons pick off 10-20 men per 160-man unit before I engage with infantry. Entire armies were laid to waste by my massed cannon. To clarify, one cannon piece consisted of 6 actual cannons, firing individually.

Noone (except me) got out alive, and I didn't fire a single musket

About 4 hours into Bioshock.

About 5 hours into Fallout 3.

About 10 minutes into Prototype.

Any time when playing as Kratos.

Oh and once when I got all the weapons for my Warhawk jet, on a team that had stolen all the other teams jets and proceeded to base rape them for 20 minutes, leaving me with a 27 KDR.

This, but instead of sun shang xiang, it's Lu Bu (could be a different Dynasty Warriors too, but I'm fairly certain he's OP in most of them)

Heavenly Sword made a point of making you absurdly powerful for the last fight. It was awesome to cleave through all the baddies who fucked with you in mass.

I've been playing FFVII for the last month and I haven't gotten off of the first disk yet, I've gotten past the part where you first visit the golden saucer and I'm level 80... I've just been levelling up... I've been doing college work and watching DVD's while having the PS3 on in the background and I'm just rolling my hands on the D-pad, getting into battles, then fighting while doing other stuff. I've mastered every materia and I've got all the limit breaks... so yeah I'm over powered... I one hit kill most enemies.

About 45% of League of Legends games; since it's an "even" game roughly 10% of the time, and you either roflstomp or *get* roflstomped the rest of the time.

As others have said, various points in Morrowind or Oblivion. It's really fun in Morrowind to make custom spells with rediculous stats: 200 fire damage in a (really large) radius on touch means; 1 hit kill an entire town.

This doesn't *really* fit into the paradigm of the OT, but playing counterstrike years ago, during middle school I spent an entire summer 10-12 hours/day doing nothing else and by the end I dominated any non-clan server. This culminated in me repeatedly getting 10+ K:D ratios, and in one "lucky" game getting booted for having 40 kills and 2 deaths.

Disgaea 1-2, but this is because you spend 99%+ of your time grinding easy kills to level up items, characters, and spells, or getting loot & cash.

Another.... Zoids: Battle legends (Gamecube). This is my Zoid:

(Green) Blade Liger
Weapons
N/A (Stock)

Equipment
Stealth System (formerly Boosters until I found out a bug that made me SLOW with them active)

Optional
Ultra Z
Ultra Z
Ultra Z


In other words... I was Odin in a Zoid.

Hate to admit that I played it, but Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom. I've never seen such a ridiculously unbalanced game.

It's possible to legitimately grow weapons that do billions, if not trillions (if you were bored enough-- I assume, anyway, saw some pretty ridiculous ones, and if there was a damage cap, I never saw it) worth of damage in a relatively short time span. I don't think a single monster in the game approached even a couple million hit points, so you could literally one-shot-kill everything on the screen on the hardest difficulty in a full game.

IMO, it could have actually been a sorta fun game. If it hadn't been so damn broken...

Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires. Clearing out bases in seconds after you pimped your character to near-god level. Then of course the DW series is known for making you the most powerful person on the field. Execept for Lu Bu. Then RUN!

HA! That chick took a game where you already beat the shit out of everyone in sight really easily and then took it up a notch.
