Find out if your favorite bosses made our list of gaming's most ferocious foes!
The bossiest of bosses are counted down in our retrospective through long, breathless nights with sweaty palms, thrown controllers and endless battles against the baddest-ass villains we've ever faced -- both new and old-school. Of course, with these famous foes, it's a love/hate relationship. Did your favorites make the list? Comment and let us know!
47. Richter Belmont (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)
Richter Belmont (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)
It was a shock for fans of the Castlevania series to see a Belmont as the lord of Dracula's castle, but this was only one of several storyline stunners in the masterpiece that was Symphony.
46. Vega (Street Fighter II)

You've never felt pain until you've felt the pain inflicted by a ninja bullfighter! Zesty!
45. The Colossi (Shadow of the Colossus)
The Colossi (Shadow of the Colossus)
Towering mythological titans, perhaps the most impressive and fearsome creatures ever rendered in a videogame, and incredibly cinematic experiences that had us checking to make sure this was still the PlayStation 2... need we say more?
44. Carmen Sandiego (Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?)
Carmen Sandiego (Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?)
When you're famous enough that every child in the world is hunting for you, it's clear that you've made your name with an impressive legacy of villainy. Did anyone ever really know what Sandiego did wrong, though? (Answer: she was a thief).
43. Kane (Command & Conquer)
Kane (Command & Conquer)
Kane was the diabolical leader behind the shady Brotherhood of Nod organization, which plotted to take over the world. And, as the storyline implies, he may just have been the immortal Biblical figure Cain. Living up to that rep, he went ahead and murdered his own brother. "I ain't your keeper, dude!"

Hmm. Why wasn't Al Mualim from Assassin's Creed in the list? I mean, Al Mualim, acting as the master of the assassin's guild, has the "hero" Altair assassinate 9 men who are a threat to him and his grand scheme in taking over the known world, basically, and then turns the entire assassin's guild against Altair, trying to kill him. He basically will kill anyone that is a threat to him, even though he may of claimed he was doing it for "peace", he was truly out for his own gain. I can also agree with a lot of the places bad guys in this list got... Nemesis deserved a bit higher, as the thing just wouldn't die and it scared the living crap out of you when it jumped through walls, or windows, or doors at you. Seeing the Pac-Man ghosts on this list though, I thought that was a great addition as other "Greatest Bad Guys of All Time" lists I've read through don't have them. Also, Hogger, the "bad guy" from World of Warcraft wasn't exactly hard to kill, if you're kind of smart. If you're about it's level, it's simple enough to take out, if you know when to heal. And Sephiroth being at number 2, behind Donkey Kong, is a damn fine placing for him. Donkey Kong, despite he was a cowardly ape, was one of the first bosses in gaming history, and I'm sure all gamers at heart remember him well.
