One of my favourite bosses is Kochamara from Psychonauts, from the Lungfishopolis level. This is mainly because he's nothing but a parody of traditional game bosses, with such battle cries as 'Haaaard toooooo avoooooid AREA ATTACK!' and 'Charging.... RAM!'
I JUST beat Gannondorf yesterday and I loved how Non-Paterned that fight was, you actually had to work pretty damn hard to beat him and there was no obvious pattern.
In Prime 3 when you fight against Ridley. That was so damn cool. Like, just falling down a tunnel and shooting at him, just felt so cinematic. That and the RE4 bosses, each one was so fun, even if i got killed like 14 times.
Pretty much every boss in Ocarina of Time was great
Also 343 Guilty Spark in Halo 3 (just getting the bastard to finally shut up...with a Spartan laser, that was one of my best moments in gaming )
The final boss in Bioshock
Honestly, few boss battles can match the pure awesomeness that is every boss fight in the God of War series.
To quote from Penny arcade:
"Wow, is this the final boss?"
"Final Boss? This is the first one."
"Are you joking?!"
"Every other game is the joke. God of War is the punchline."
(This isn't the exact quote. I couldn't find it in their archives after 20 minutes of looking, so I gave up.)
And the very first time you fight a Big Daddy in Bioshock. The entire time you're fighting it you're just thinking "Oh crap, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, crap I ran out of shotgun ammo, crap, crap, crap!"
There have been many awesome boss battles, but my favorite, and I'm sure it has been posted like twenty times, is G.L.A.D.O.S. from Portal. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at a video game before that.
Evrae (The Guardian Wyrm you fight when you're going to Bevelle) from FFX. It was just fun for me, and i was unprepared before the fight so it actually took a lot of strategy...
I must side with the masses that Zelda has some of the best boss battles IMO. Here's my top three:
3). Bongo Bongo (OoT)- Quite simply the most annoying boss to fight in the Zelda series. I have to fight a giant floating ghost drummer, all while trying to stay on a shifting platform?! Plus, hitting him in the hands and eye, followed up by slashing his eye drains the arrows pretty quick.
2). Ganon(dorf) (Any game)- All of the fights against Ganon have been epic, no matter which form he's taken.
Now how can Ganon not be the top baddie in the Legend of Zelda?! Simple. I present to you the best boss of the game
1). Dark Link (OoT)- He can match your sword skills blow-for-blow, and he strikes from nowhere. He's one of the hardest bosses I've ever faced. And he does count as a boss, since he is considered a sub-boss.
Wow...I think mine was pretty much any boss fight in the Metroid Prime or LoZ series.
Also, in my opinion, Dark Link was easy as hell...I used the Megaton Hammer, that pwns him-he can't block it. Still, I agree that he is the hardest boss, because when you attack, he jumps on your sword and hits you.
