Games with the best explosions

I can't believe you people.

Have you not played BC 2? That game has some of the best explosions ever!

The only game with any right to the title "Best explosions" is obviously Goldeneye 007.

Gradius V for me

What profit is it to a man, when he gains his money, but loses his internet? Anonymous 16:26 I believe...

Uh... Probably Crysis?

I'm not going to say that they're objectively the best, but I've always loved SSBM's explosions.

Anyone else like the "explosions" of light that accompany the release of minisuns during Utsuho's first spellcard?

Command And Conquer and Metriod process grand explosions but one of my favourites has to be the doom of the Macbeth train in Star Fox.

Zone of the Enders 2. Every single enemy. Oh, and the Mars Melee event.

No Super Robot Wars, guys? for shame:

I am not shamed.

Deal with it.

It might not technically be an epxlosion (no splash damage) but how can we all be forgetting the [1]?

World in Conflict. Anything blowing up in World of Conflict, but especially the nuke.

Since nukes be spoken of, do not forget Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri which process the creater/sea making PLANET BUSTERS! Overkill is a understandment when you take out more then one of the cities of you foe.

Really, the current focus is more on looking pretty than on realism, though realism is generally the word used.

Warning Nuclear Launch Detected.

Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.

Seconding Total Annihilation on grounds of being the only game I can think of in which sending your commander on a high-explosive suicide mission to the enemy base in the first few seconds of the game is a viable option. For certain definitions of 'viable'.

The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable

I'm partial to the all-consuming, amazingly violent explosions in the original Aliens Versus Predator. Especially considering that game's majestic gib system.
