Top Videogame Boss Fights Rated

Posted by simoniker on Sunday September 21, 2003 @11:22AM from the ever-controversial-countdowns dept.

Thanks to GameSpot for their list of their 10 favorite videogame boss fights ever. The article claims: "The bosses here qualify as memorable by excelling in a number of categories; difficulty, personality, and innovative fight mechanics all come into play", and goes on to name bosses such as Dark Falz from Phantasy Star ("...so terrifying, they couldn't even spell his name right"), Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid ("more about figuring out the gimmicks behind his trickery than being skillful with your weaponry"), and Ganon from Zelda: The Ocarina Of Time ("the most dramatic and epic [boss battle] in Zelda history.")

No, no, you're getting them comfused. Gamespy is a bunch of assholes who hate the Gamecube, spout stupid opinions about things, and monopolize file downloads. Gamespot is a reasonably cool site that bothers to have insightful commentary and well-written news occasionally.

Gamespy hates Mortal Kombat, Gamespot doesn't.
