Top 20 big bosses

Thursday, October 12, 2006


The Boston Phoenix published an online article about the Top 20 best bosses in video game history. Although there are some nice selections in the list ( Metroid's Mother Brain, Punch Out's Mike Tyson, Double Dragon's Abobo and Red Falcon from Contra), some where left to be desired. If this is supposed to be a top 20 best bosses, why there' some that are hardly recognized (Who the hell is Don LeCuck?) And there's even a Guitar Hero song! How can that be a villain?


I don't know why Sephirot is so high. If they wanted to use a Final Fantasy villain that actually was an awesome big bad the money is on Kefka or Golbez. Sephirot? He's just a Jenova controlled dude that walked around dumbly with his big sword and summoned a comet. OK. Fine, move on.

Where's Magus? Sigma? Albedo? and why wasn't Ganondorf higher?

Anyways if feeling like checking out their top 20 go here.
PS. I'm not even going to comment on number 1.

The countdown

Saturday, October 07, 2006


I've been waiting for five years. I've been waiting for 60 months. I've been waiting for 240 weeks; for 1681 days; 40344 hours. Anyways, you get it. I've been waiting so damn long for this game and now it's finally coming (after 4 painful delays) to us.

Final Fantasy XII is, the most awaited JRPG game of the year. Not only we haven't got a new original Final Fantasy since the release of Final Fantasy X in 2001. We had to settle for the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI and the funky, fagotty Final Fantasy X-2. The 12 was announced and all I could say was Ivalice (the world on Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics 2)! New directions, new artwork (this surely looks like Vagrant Story) and a *gasps!* new battle system that resembles XI.

I've read the reviews, they all loved it! I've played through the first 25 minutes of the game (in Japanese, but still!) and I was loving it. And even though I'm still like 10 hours from finishing Xenosaga 3, I really, really wanna play this one!

But if I waited 5 years, and 4 delays. I can wait for sure, 3 weeks; 24 days; 168 hours; 10080 minutes. Can I?
