#7- Detective Vision “Batman Arkham” series (2009-)

Now it’s time for the greatest tool used by the world’s greatest detective. This gadget was extremely overpowered in Arkham Aslyum and made less of a crutch in the sequel, while remaining one of our favorites.

#5- Nanosuit “Crysis” series (2007 - 2013)

While the hardcore would be quick to praise Samus’ Power Suit, this one took everything up several notches.

It’s artificial muscle fibers can be used for a variety of purposes, including hardening to absorb damage, invisibility, and super human movements.

#4- The Animus “Assassin’s Creed” series (2007-)

While this one isn’t portable like the others on the list, it’s one heck of a gadget that gives Desmond Miles the ability to relive the lives of his ancestors.

#3- Grappling Gun “Just Cause” series (2006 - 2010)

Okay, back to gadgets of the handheld variety. This one is self-explanatory! This magnetic harpoon tool comes in shape of a gun, as well as the forearm-mounted variety. It goes above and beyond by delivering extreme range and fun. There’s no way to sugar coat it, you’re pretty much Spider-man, using to navigate between structures, grab onto moving vehicles or manipulate objects, like gas canisters!

This RPG franchise is all about catching them all. As a trainer on a quest to become the best, this tool is of central importance.
