Star Ruler comes in second with a space station bigger than a solar system with an artillery piece that fired once every thousand years. The projectile was huuuuuge.
Sounds like something from bad Sci-Fi. "Huge ancient space station that shoots a projectile every 1000 years". Yet it also sounds awesome :D

Civ5.I made a small nation based on technological advances and diplomacy.No one ever declared war on me,so I just kept getting more and more advanced technology.
Then came project Manhattan and things went downhill from there.I started massively stockpiling nukes,like a digital version of the cold war,only I was in an arms race with my own humorous intentions.

Then came the tank divisions and planes.My god,the first turn of the war was devastating.My closest neighbors saw dozens upon dozens of units flood from my territory,and the furthest cities got nuked off the map.
Then I left one last enemy city and bombed it with everything I had.An atomic bomb,bombers,artillery....everything surrounded by the orange glow of radiation and fallout.
Then I razed that city because it was a radiated hellhole where nothing would ever grow ever again.

And this children,is why you don't spam me with fucking embargo requests ALL.GAME.LONG.

Whenever possible I like using the rpg in Half-Life 2, I can't think of a specific instance of overkill but it's a lot of fun to use on poison zombies and watch the headcrab ragdolls fly off in all directions.

Recently in Oblivion I was clearing out some necromancers from a cave (one of the Daedric quests, I highly reccommend at higher levels and I'll explain why). The first overkill example was...I believe it was called the "staff of conflagration" that I took off a dead necromancer which cast a MASSIVE fireball spell. Blasting that down the narrow corridors was lots of fun, I cooked a lich (a LICH) by accident!

Second example of overkill in that same quest is tied to an inventory bug in the necromancers; at high levels they accumulate massive amounts of high-efficacy potions (mostly health/magicka potions so be sure to kill them quickly) each necromancer carries upwards of 40 potions so taking and selling them all was definitely finaincial overkill. I didn't NEED the money but I would be damned before I would pass it all up!

Hmmmm, I took out the entire enemy team in Bad Company 2 once. Rigged the chopper, access to our defensive base and buildings with C4 took out 16 people with some preperation and the press of a button.

Playing Civilization destroying entire nations of knights and pike-men with nukes and air strikes. Spear vs. tank is glorious to say the least.

Leading 90 man raids in Everquest. It was NOT because we needed the extra people (I dearly, dearly miss the halcyon days of Kunark and our focused 24 man raid group), we just tried to include everyone who wanted to come. It was always fun when we crashed the zone.

I've got one :D

on LOTRO there are little animals with 1hp that are level 1 runnin around, you can kill some of them. So I took my hunter and hit one with heartseeker, I critted for abotu 2500 :D

Then there's all the times I headshotted random raiders n such with the .50 on NV. I can scrounge up more, but it'd be a long list, I like overkill.

Probably when I head shotted someone across the map in Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam with the grenade launcher.
If it counts in gears someone on my team was doing the punching execution on the last person, so I walked up to them with the Mulcher and started shooting the guy being punched. It was more just silly since I didn't get the kill.
Oh, in Age of Gods,a board game, I dropped a vortex (Destroys a city entirely and can't be use for the rest of the game) on the human capital after everyone was mutated into orcs.

In the original Halo I did some hex editing to the weapons and changed the rocket launcher's blast radius to around half a klick or so. I got a server up and didn't tell anyone about it, but let everyone else get first dibs on the rocket launcher and find out for themselves.

TF2.

I (as a medic) ubercharged a pyro. We ran around the corner, roasted most of the enemy team alive, and killed the sentries. We won instantly after that. DEVASTATION!

I also once ubercharged a Heavy as he ran into the enemy base with just his fists and he beat at least six people to death. We died of course, but it was fun while it lasted. The enemy players also seemed really confused. lol

I remember watching my friend play Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars (the third one) On the level where you play as GDI attacking the Temple of Nod.
He had captured a mutant spawner, and created a zerg army of the guys, about 50 of them, then he sent them from the top of the map to his base at the bottom, and forgot about them. He went to another area of the map to fiddle with the troops there (Tiberium Wars had a lot of micro managing troops) and when he was scrolling across the map later he saw the mutant army approaching his base. He quickly selected his charged Ion Cannon (The games superbly overpowered superweapon) and fired it at them. Killing every last one. Only then did he realise they were his own troops. It was outstanding.
