1. Keyblade - Kingdom Hearts

Sora's weapon of choice in Disney's Kingdom Hearts franchise. The Keyblade serves two functions: the sword delivers massive damage and--bonus!--opens doors to different Disney worlds.

2. Lightsaber - Pretty Much Any Star Wars Game

No sword collection is complete without the Jedi Knight's tool for battle, the lightsaber. Powered by rare crystals, the laser sword uses a beam of energy to slice through...anything, pretty much.

3. Soul Edge - SoulCalibur

Use the Soul Edge at your own risk. SoulCalibur's incredibly powerful sword has its own soul and can transform depending on who wields the weapon.

4. Blades of Chaos - God of War

Created in the depths of Hades, Kratos' blades are bound to him after pledging his allegiance to Ares, the God of War. Kratos was able to use these lethal blades to eviscerate enemies from a distance or at arm's length.

5. Energy Sword - Halo 2

Playing Halo multiplayer with your friends is all fun and games until you see your enemy wielding this beast. The Energy Sword is by far one of the most deadly weapons in the franchise's storied history.

6. High-Frequency Blade - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

The HF Blade isn't playable until the end of Metal Gear Solid 2, but Raiden's sword ability is upper echelon as he fights his way through the Big Shell.

7. Rebellion - Devil May Cry

Dante, the hero from Devil May Cry, was impaled by the Rebellion sword in the third entry into the series. But being stabbed by a powerful sword actually helped Dante, giving him the ability to tap into his Devil Trigger.

8. Buster Sword - Final Fantasy VII

Arguably the best game in the Final Fantasy franchise has to have the best sword, right? Right. Who would've thought that someone named after the clouds could carry a sword that looks bigger than his body.

9. Raiden's Katana - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

In the jump from Metal Gear Solid 2 to Metal Gear Solid 4, Raiden becomes a complete badass. And a big thanks to that is due to Raiden's Katana, which cuts through Metal Gear's like a knife through warm butter.

10. Time Dagger - Prince of Persia

Not only does the Prince of Persia's dagger destroy enemies, but it also holds the power to control time. If only we had such power in real life.

11. Dragon Sword - Ninja Gaiden

The primary weapon used by Ryu, and if you're lucky enough you're able to create the ultimate form, the True Dragon Sword. The True Dragon Sword is one of the most powerful swords in the game.

12. Masamune - Chrono Trigger

You may have heard of the Masamune sword from the Final Fantasy series, but Chrono Trigger on SNES showed the real power of the weapon.

13. Excalibur II - Final Fantasy IX

The Final Fantasy franchise was known for being standalone games, but there is one common theme: Excalibur. In Final Fantasy IX, only Steiner could equip the piece of steel, but it is the most powerful sword in the RPG game.

14. Frostmourne - World of Warcraft

The blade that the Lich King, Ner'Zhul, wielded was destroyed when the new king, Arthas, was defeated. Rumor has it that the Frostmourne was loosely based on King Arthur's Excalibur.

15. Master Sword - Legend of Zelda

Also known by the name the Blade of Evil's Bane, the Master Sword is a recurring legendary weapon in the Zelda franchise. The Master Sword is drawn to heroes who must earn the right to wield it.

1. Star Trek Online

While he doesn’t actually make a physical appearance in the game, the dulcet tones of Nimoy’s Vulcan voice welcome the player to each new section. Suitably, hundreds of the game’s denizens recently gathered in tribute to the actor’s passing.

2. Dying Light

Spock’s death in Star Trek II has him shot out in a photon torpedo coffin … only to land in the zombie-infested ocean of Harran? Probably not, but the new game's odd homage to Spock carries extra poignancy with its eerie timing.

3. Star Trek: 25th Anniversary

In keeping with Spock’s views on violence, most puzzles in this adventure game for the NES eschew combat, focusing on more thoughtful solutions. For such an early title, it truly captures the spirit of the series.

4. Minecraft

Much like the Internet’s notorious rule 34, if you can imagine it, someone’s built it in Minecraft. But this to-scale fan replica of the USS Enterprise NCC 1071 looks like a true labor of love, and a wonderful send-off to Spock.

5. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

With a story even more convoluted than Spock’s alternate reality ret-conning in the recent films, Kingdom Hearts is still a great showcase for Nimoy’s voice talents as the villain Master Xehanort. Feel the darkness!

6. Star Trek: Judgment Rites

As a landmark PC game in the mid-nineties, Judgment Rites picks up right where the 25th anniversary adventure game left off. Never before have Spock’s chess playing skills proved so oddly invaluable.

7. Sid Meier’s Civilization IV

Nimoy’s voice is a natural fit for a game about improving technology and advancing the course of human progress. As the great Vulcan vociferates, “One man in his time plays many parts."

8. Seaman

One of the most bizarre games ever made also features Nimoy as a narrator, who coaches you through raising your very own creep-faced fish man, with which you communicate through a microphone. If you stare into its eyes, you’re guaranteed night terrors.

9. Star Trek Bridge Commander

This super absorbing Star Trek game creates a realistic simulation of a captain discharging orders and combatting an enemy fleet. A fantastic fan mod enlists Spock to serve by your side.

10. Iron Brigade

Double Fine gives Leonard Nimoy the double-fingered salute with their Tiki Mask upgrade. This third person mech-action title has little in common with Spock, making the reference most illogical, but still appreciated.

11. Star Trek: The Rebel Universe

A game that reaches for greatness, but falls short due to those damnable catastrophe pods! It’s still notable as one of the first games (in 1987) to feature Nimoy’s full likeness in glorious sprite art.

12. Atlantis: The Lost Empire

During the lost age of the 3D platformer, Atlantis stood comfortably among its peers. It even featured full cut scenes from the Disney film, including Nimoy’s perfect performance as the forlorn King Kashekim.

13. Star Trek Pinball

While The Next Generation claims the most famous pinball game, this earlier machine from Data East featured the original crew of the Enterprise with the sultry science officer front and center.
