WRONG! srry, but that award HAS TO go to the HeadShot on Gears Of War. :p
With what cause with the sniper its way to easy.

I'm rather handy with airstrikes usually (mercinaries was great for that).

My special gaming power is the ability to see dreadful game through to the end, so that I might write a full review.

It's not a power I revel in at times.
With great power comes great responsiblity... to play Alone in the dark through to the end.
I did that, and wrote a review too.

My only skill is to be painfully average at every game ever, even with god knows how many hours of practice. I have a skill cap, and it's ridiculously low on the ladder.

I beat GH3 on expert, but I cannot, for the life of me, get past the intro to TtFaF. Nor can I 100% any song past medium, and then only in the lower tiers. I can't get more than four stars on any of the songs in the last tier n expert.

I can beat level 9 CPU's in Brawl, but I'll never be more than 1 stock ahead of them.

I beat CoD4 on hardened, but I get my ass handed to me on Veteran.

So I'm good, just not impressively so.

being able to beat every track on -hard- difficulty and every single one of my mates on CTR (Crash Team Racing). i dont care what anyone says, that was the best battle-racing game on the ps1 since Road Rash!
YES!! someone else who knows what crash team racing is FINALLY!!!
I loved that game to absolute pieces and was, i believe the gaming community's term for it is, "Uber" at it lol (beat all my friends on it :) lol)
Nitros Oxide you bandy legged, lime green little bastard, how frustrating your track was
But still you fell before me time and again MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
My first kart game ever and first game i 100 percented

Winning in SSBB.

Especially with spiking... It's more satisfying than sticking.

I was excellent with the Torque Bow in Gears of War. I hit about 95% of the time.

Oh, and ramming things with the Brute Chopper on Halo. I've even nabbed a Banshee out of the sky on Relic, though that was more to chance. Made for a cool replay though.
EDIT: Still Halo, but I am an awesome warthog gunner. Pin-point accuracy, even when upside down.

I have gotten to level 76 on the arcade version of Galaga with only 2.25 in quarters.

Aside from that and my uncanny talent at racing games, I'm a fairly mediocre gamer.

All my gaming skills are either basic or held by at least a thousand other people. I HAVE always enjoyed doing headshots, though, and I have the Crash sections of Burnout: Revenge nailed down to a science.

I can pick-up-and-play most games.

I'm also MAD with on-my-feet strategies and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, RTS, FPS or whatever else. LOTS of practice :D.

I can also *sometimes* dodge the blue shell.

PS: I'll be the guy beating everyone to a bloody pulp as Ike over Wi-Fi.

Mario Strikers Charged...I can beat the people who use tele-goals with ease. I can also do Boo's goal trick every time, and I've beaten the #1 ranked player in 2 different seasons

I can get lucky kills like nobody else I know. Noscopes that were just "pull the trigger and hope for the best," some pretty sweet sticks, drifting between 2 cars (one of them oncoming) in Burnout), random "that must have pissed him off" nades in CoD4, an overkill with an oddball (with my shields down on the last 2 kills), and I once killed a flagcarrier on Avalanche, with a rocket, from almost all the way across the map, while he was taking the mancannon into his base (missing a teammate who had been on the mancannon by about a second). But I haven't figured out how to do any of this stuff consistently. Not that I'm a bad gamer. I'm pretty decent. Just not amazing. But once in a blue moon I'll pull off something insane.

I got beginners luck, and after that passes i have just good luck, it carries in over in real life to.
Detection as well can see stuff moving from far away.
hearing i often use the sounds of my enemies to figure out a plan to attack, especially in COD4
Last but not least i use what i know of the average person, and trick them because i know what normal people will do in a game, doesn't work with expert players that well but still useful.

I play a lot of video games so i just have vast video game knowledge, i play all types except racing and fighting.

My skills are weird, they kind of depend on my mood. Some days I play games like I'm the mayor of the city of ass kickery, and then some days I run around and die a lot.

The games I'm most naturally adept at are fighters. I can pick one up and beat the average player after a short amount of time, and become a tough player to beat off the machine after a little practice. Especially 2D fighters, which are dying out unfortunately...

Although for some reason, I've never been that great at Street Fighter. Maybe cause I personally don't think it's all that.

My ability to lead with billets in an FPS. (I'm a very skilled marksman in RL)

Other than that i mostly play 1p games of multiplayer ones on campaign mode. I'm the most terrible RTS online player in history, spend too much time tek-ing up. everyone that knows the most rudimentary rush tactics will destroy me 100% of the time.

When I was a kid I had a pretty uncanny knack for discovering secrets in games (admittedly not as good as that kid in The Wizard, but that was stupid as hell), because I could notice when things were out of place and just used a lot of good trial and error. Now 'secrets' in games are called 'accomplishments' and there's not too much discovering to be made. Just unlockables.

Im really good with all the basic weapons. For example, in Halo3 I'll get a rampage with just an AR or BR in a normal slayer match.
but Im just average with long range weapons, 'cause I like it when its more intense.

How can I forget chess? that totally counts and for the last 25 years I've been unbelievable at that.

I'm pretty damn good with Warlocks in WoW using Destruction and Affliction specs, as well. Honestly never got another class past lvl 14.

Definitly my ability to see pixels move even just a little bit.

I'm not that great at RTS's for the fact that I hate micromanaging which is why I've honed my skills in FPS's. I also have incredibly fast reaction times making button prompts in video games one of my most loved portions in any game =D Also, I beat UN Squadron on SNES *flex* i love that game.

Yeah im gonna have to go with my bullet leading ability and what that one guy said about knowing what the average player will do in a game. All of that really comes in handy. *sorry for the double post*

I'm not that great of a gamer over-all but I can pick up any game and immediately be "medium" at it... I guess that equates to just good old above average hand-eye. I really have to grind to get "good" though... 12 days on COD4 and counting... but it's been fun.
