How Do You Assassinate?

My favourite way to assassinate someone is unfortunatly unavailable in most games so I will use Red faction Guerilla as an example as it is geared towards this method.
Say there's a group of EDF inside a building and I'd perfer they stop breathing. What do I do? Going through the front door would be suicide and ramming a car through has a risk of blowing me up. So instead I put on satchel charge on the ceiling and get behind the wall they're closest to. Boom! Ceiling collapses killing the majority and I make the wall crash down on the rest using my sledge hammer.
If I have to be stealthy however, I'd simply sneak up and crack their neck.

Stealth into the room, sneaking past guards and security devices. Then drop down in front of them and blast them in the face with a shotgun and fight my way out.
Ah, up close and personal for sure. Particulary using the hidden blade in the Assassin's Creed series. 
I usually go with the long range sniper shot, but I will also go for a stealthy silenced pistol double tap to the head if the opportunity presents itself. If all else fails I like to load a car with remote detonation explosives, drive it right into my target, jump out and detonate as soon as I reach a somewhat safe distance.
I always go for the long range or stealthy approach. It may sound a bit cowardly, but it's much more effective and smart than going straight in and up close. In shooting games I always tend to use marksman weapons, with a decent scope (like the DMR and the sniper rifle in Halo: Reach), and indeed in Halo my favourite 'ability' is the Active Camo, for sneaking around. RPGs, I tend to use bow and arrow or other longer range weapons. Hell, even in Assassin's Creed, I prefer picking off my enemies on rooftops with throwing knives or the hidden gun rather than getting up close (unless I'm free running, in which case I just get in quick, stabbity-stab, then run away again and carry on quickly to my target).
To be fair though, I do find it much easier playing as a sniper or a marksman on most games. I've done it so often that it's my best skill, and indeed some of my best gaming moments have been when sniping (for example, recently hitting three Jiralhanae in Halo 3 with headshots, below the helmet (so in the upper neck), when they were all running around, within five seconds and killing all three with one shot each).

Telekinetic ripping apart of their limbs.

Depemds on the game of course, but in GTA for instance, i'd just walk up, shoot them in the chest and head, then get away quick before anyone even notices.
