Top 10 “Game Overs”

BT writes: It’s merely a fact of video games: you are not always going to win. No matter how well one plays, every person is eventually going to see a Game Over screen. Most of the time, these screens and small scenes are just a simple little throwaway deal that is ignored as a gamer simply tries again. Occasionally however, there will be something about the Game Over that gives pause. Maybe an entire alternate ending where the heroes fail is played or something very entertaining happens that you can’t help but laugh at, but for one reason or another, attention is given. To celebrate these games that put effort into what happens when we lose, I’m counting down the top 10 “Game Overs” in gaming.

Man, the Banjo Kazooie game-over screen scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Seeing your sister turned into a hideous monster (made scarier by the crappy N64 graphics) that wants to kill you was a great incentive to avoid losing.

user54670075075d ago

Yeah but seeing Gruntilda end up becoming hot kind of made up for it.

The game over screens in Metroid Prime 2 are still by far my favourite, simply because humanize of how they humanize Samus.

That and the author doesn't know anything about Sega Rally?! What is he like 15 or something?

Game Over Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeah!

Cablephish5075d ago

How about that Andross at the Star Fox game over screen? That scared me as a kid...

A-Glorious-Dawn5074d ago

yeah. the final level was equally freaky

mcnablejr5074d ago

Dont you mean starwing?

Tainted Gene5074d ago

lol, its funny you bring up Star Fox. Love that game back in the day and me and my brothers would constantly play the VS game, tons of fun.

Anyway, my baby brother who was about 8-9 use to be scared of that very same game over screen and the last level. Lol, even til this day when we reminisce I still bring up and he always denies it tooth and nail.

Now that I think about it was always pretty scared of an older game, "Streets of Rage 2"; the part in the intro where you see Mr. X giant face and hands hover over the city. He used to freak out whenever me and my other brother began to play it. lol, but granted he was like 4 years old at the time.

LOL, I guess it has something to do with the big heads that makes him/other slight scared of those scenes

already preordered the 64 edition.

Surprised to see so little activity when it comes to evercade news... its been a great retro platform. I know its emulation, but they still believe in physical media. I'm hoping they will do something special with the Doom release later this year.

wtf, good thing I already played and finished the game when it came out

walken7100d ago

Once again hurting the people who purchase and support the game. Meanwhile pirates get the best version. Pathetic.

PRIMORDUS99d ago

There is already someone or a group called voices38, that has been cracking Denuvo games lately. Not the newest games, but getting there.

PRIMORDUS99d ago

I wonder if the pirated copies run better like this one titled here: "Resident Evil 4: Remake - Gold Edition (No Denuvo) (v1.5.0.0 + All DLCs + Bonus Content + MULTi14) (From 50 GB)"

Furesis99d ago

i don't think so? as far as i know even pirated version have denuvo or whatever runing in the background, they just trick it to say that yes this is a legit copy or just skip that process, but im not 100% sure. regardless this is an endless battle where legit consumer "suffer" sometimes. it's not that big of a deal MOST of the times and i understand publishers not wanting people to get access to their games for FREE so, i cant blame them honestly. i do find it odd that they wouldn't just remove DRM completely considering most people already played it? not like they are getting more sales anymore, just lower the price remove DRM but i guess thats why they still have it because they dont want to lower the price. oh well

1nsomniac99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

A perfectly acceptable excuse to pirate the game.

Why would you accept to pay for the game in order for it to install software you don’t want with the intention to make your playing experience worse. Paying for that would be the very definition of stupid.

I’m not against DRM but if it negatively effects a product you’re paying for. Then it’s on them not you.
