What were your favorite bosses from last gen? Not necessarily the best mind you.

Brayko from Alpha Protocol. A Russian who sniffs cocaine with crazy lights and classic rock playing? Awesome.

Level 6-6 from Super Meatboy. I know it's not a traditional boss level but it was cool how Dr. Fetus was chasing after you and shooting rockets.

That cube thing from Legend of Grimrock. Took me a few tries, I liked how you had to gather the parts to assembly it and then it just starts attacking you.

Fight with Killbane from Saints Row 3. Crazy over the top hilarity. Best part was when you were given a chainsaw.

Sif. As a bpss fight, it's abit glitchy. But the music, the creature and the limping, it makes me feel emotional and stuff. inside.

I liked Radec although I wished he was more aggressive in attack than he was in KZ2.

[spoiler] Phantoon [/spoiler] I'd also like to add the Ridley fight from Other M. That was absolutely brilliant.

I'm surprised to see you guys listing Metroid Other M. I played like an hour and a half of it and haven't gone back because the story was insanely cringe worthy. Also the gameplay seemed really easy. Does it really get that much better?

Oh and the guy you fight in the baseball stadium from No More Heroes was pretty funny. The way he's slumped over at the end is great.

It has a slow start, but the combat really opens up. The fact Team Ninja worked on the game shows strongly in the main combat areas. It makes Samus fast, agile and in line with what her established abilities are (rather than the slow tank controls of the Prime series). The opening cinematics are really the only ones that cause the "cringe". Sure, the story is very melodramatic (in a Japanese way) but it makes Samus an actual character, rather than an player avatar. And honestly, I'm not sure why people expected this warm, endearing, loveable Samus... she is a hardened bounty hunter that saw her parents killed at a very young age, and has seen several other traumas throughout her life. She is emotionally scarred and it should be showcased in her development and personality. Other M is a "good" game. It is a unique take on the Metroid universe and is worth at least a single playthrough (unless you are a masochist and enjoy being cheaped out by the higher levels of difficulty in Team Ninja games). It is not as good as Super Metroid, or Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, but it isn't "bad" like many would have you believe.
