No portal gun or gravity gun? Given this forum's love of Valve I'm genuinely surprised they weren't included.
I find the lack of Dead Space's RIG, disturbing. That was without a doubt the best use of a HUD that I have ever seen. Everything is displayed on, or around the character, and it is certainly just a really cool concept and execution.
True. Even if it was more or less a knock-off of Half-Life 2 at times, it still had solid gameplay and a story that - if looked deeper into - was rather complex with tons of recurring time-loops...RealRT said:

Here, the Splinter Cell Goggles are a good example: The entry claims that the original and sequel had only two lenses to represent the two modes - they always had three even in the original, as seen here [http://www.covergalaxy.com/xbox/Splinter%20Cell%20PAL%20COVER.jpg].
The only time the goggle DIDN'T have three lenses was in Coop and that still depended on the game.
No skyhook from Bioshock Infinite? That thing was badass!
Good to see the ol' PipBoy and OmniTool in here.
Not sure about Singularity, as its a weapon. And if weapons are allowed, where's my Space Marine ThunderHammer or Portal portal gun?

I personally would have put a Pokeball into the list because carrying LITERAL DRAGONS in your pocket never gets old.
But I'm biased. <.<

Awesome gallery list!
Out of the games that I've played in somewhat recent times, I'd add couple of my own:
- Deadspace(s) - Kinetic module (great fun impaling necro's against the wall!)
- Watchdogs - Adrian's phone, seems to be able to do a hell of a lot....
- Crysis - The Nanosuit of course, greatest piece of game-changing armor (in either the sci-warfare game, or FPS game, uh, game)

The Portal Gun seems to be a glaring omission...
If it were my list, there are a couple I would've added too. The Hoverboots from Ratchet and Clank, they kind of speak for themselves, and the S.A.C. from Beyond Good and Evil, which can digitise physical items and store them as data to be recalled whenever and wherever you like. Pretty nifty.

I was expecting the Hidden Blade here, but that's really a weapon so it doesn't qualify. It must have been hard to narrow down which gadget from the Arkham series to put on here. As for Metal Gear Solid, I don't use the (!) sound effect for text messages or other alerts, because it would scare the crap out of me. I do use the Codec sound as my ringtone.
