Last time, you decided thatQuake 2’s railgun is better than the currency ‘Gold’.

This week, I ask you to choose between dropping things in very different ways.

What’s better: ground pound attacks or reloads dumping unspent ammo?

In a video game, you’ll unleash a devestating showcase shoving and smashing everyone around you.

Ground pound attacks, you are ridiculous and I adore you.

A little area-of-effect damage, and often a handy knockback or stun to buy you breathing space.

They also look cool, especially if you’re slamming down from a great height.

Ground pounds are a staple of hack ‘n’ slash games, and always great.

Don’t worry about it.

If realism and simulation is your bag, hey, this is more realistic, so good for you!

You dumped a mag after only two shots!

What spiffy tactical options!

But which is better?

It’s one of the few disciplines I have in life.

But what do you think?
