One thing I love about video games if they are done correctly are the bosses. These are my 5 favorite bosses:
1. The End (Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater).....Even though I last played this game about 4 or 5 years ago, I still remember this boss battle more than anything else throughout the game. As of right now the old sniper wielding/bearded man with the parrot known as The End, is my all time favorite boss.
2. GLaDOS (The Orange Box: Portal).....Portal was a amazingly addictive game with its unique gameplay and GLaDOS's hilarious comments. Fighting the comedic/singing robotic operating system while she mocks you was a great and fun way to end the game.
3. Hydra (God of War).....The Hydra was one of the first bosses of the game and one of the best. This huge, mythological, oceanic creature reminds me to this day why I love God of War.
4. Irving (Resident Evil 5).....RE5 was packed full of great and memorable boss battles, but I would have to say that the battle with crazy man Irving was my favorite. It was hard to choose, but the thought of fighting this gigantic, tentacle wielding sea creature (Irving affected by the virus) while in the rain, on a boat supplied with turrets and plenty of heart-stopping dodge out of the way moments, made my decision easy.
5. The Berserkers (Gears of War).....From the start I knew I had to feature a boss from GOW. I thought long and hard about this and I was stuck on either choosing General RAAM, who is the ultimate badass villain featured in a video game, or the Berserkers, who are not necessarily main bosses but more like mini-bosses, and my final conclusion was the Berserkers. I chose the Berserkers because the moments with the huge and psycho buffed out creatures were the most intense and fun moments of the game. Every time you would meet up with these guys all you had to remember to do is to not get in the way when they sprint towards you breaking through walls and causing havoc.
