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.")

Is Gamespot getting desperate? by BTWR · 2003-09-21 11:39 · Score: 0, Troll

It seems that Gamespot is getting very "top 25 ____ of all time" lists (this being top 10). This seems very gimmicky to me. It's like when gameshows start to have "celebrity editions" to boost popularity, and then have to keep doing them because no one wants to see the "regular guys" anymore. This happened to The Weakest Link, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and even the old Family Feuds.
