No Alma form Ninja Gaiden?

[Bagnaj97]

No foetus from Half Life? It was a pretty surreal moment fighting through Xen only to be faced with a giant floating baby!

[HSK]

Hmm Ruby Weapon from FF7 was a a struggle for me years ago...I exhausted all my mental stamina, and literally gave up. Still ain't been back to beat it!

I'm sure this time around I'd know what to do to counter it ;-)

The pausing doesn't really do it justice but killing him after the 20th wipe felt like a real achievement rarely found in today's games.

Firkraag in BG2

I remember that with pride too!

(I should perhaps get out more - I think I recognised one too many of the bits of equipment the characters were using in the you tube link )

Shame on you! knights of the round table with a particular materia (mime and something else which i cannot remember!) and you will just have to sit back relax and watch as your characters finish him off in say....45 mins? either way piece of cake XD

I'm actually replaying the game right now. I went in too early to Firkraag's lair this time though and my party got wasted a few times before i decided to come back later

It's still an immensely enjoyable game, still the best game of all time for me.

You seem to have forgotten the awesome Seven Force from Gunstar Heroes (not bad for a boss fight for a game released in 1993!):

might not be the hardest boss, but the one most memorable for me was fighting The End from MGS3

Has anyone played House of the Dead: Overkill on the Wii? At the end of that you have to kill this gigantic mutated young woman with the brain of the main antagonists elderly mother. Once you slay her he "returns to the womb", literally! and the two heros blow up the corpse (with the guy inside) with C4. Possibly the strangest, sickest and most surreal game I have ever played.

I just got nostalgic and viewed this:-

What? No battles from Gitaroo Man made it into the list? Not even Flying-O? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To_6kJZ9Owc
HERESY!!! DX
The only battles I can agree with him on are GlaDos and Psycho Mantis.
