Computer games may have changed dramatically over the last 15 years but boss bottles are as hardwired into their DNA as health bars, levels and pause buttons. Just when you think you’ve dispatched enough bad guys and solved enough puzzles to complete the thing, in comes the dramatic music, up pops the fire-licked battle stage and out trundles the hulking beast standing between you and sweet success. Here are our favourite all-time video game bosses...
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Every boss in Shadow of the Colossus :P
The last boss was way more epic than the first.
And also that flying one.
How do you defeat Psycho Mantis on the PSN version? If I'm playing it on the PSP, how could I change controller ports?
Liquid Snake and Metal Gear Rex needs to be on this. I mean, talk about one man defying impossible odds.
Slash should not be on this list. I can think of 100 better bosses than someone from a substandard game like GH3.
Maybe not a great boss fight, but it is possibly the most intimidating boss I've ever seen. The whole time your in that chamber, you're thinking "Please don't see me, please don't see me."
