My pick are the three pecking tentacles in Half-Life that you have to kill by firing up the rocket engine.

Great pick!
As you said, most other real boss kills were just too much the same setup. (BLAM-BLAM-DODGE-BLAM-BLAM-DODGE-...)

I thought some of the battles in RE4 were pretty awesome when we played it when it came out.

The fights with the army dude (forgot name, not looking up) and the shark fight...they were all pretty sweet fights.

This is a great choice. The shark fight was pretty awesome.

In the Resident Evil remake for Gamecube, the whole shark tank sequence from start to finish is extremely well done...not a strict boss fight, but one of the best sequences I've ever played in a game.

One of the best I think is the fight against The End in Metal Gear Solid 3.

This the one where you're fighting your mentor? That was kinda cool.

My fav is still the final in TombRaider2.

Ninja Gaiden on the XBox - all of the bosses. They are all so challenging and each require very different strategies. Very fun. Panzeer Dragoon also had some very tough and fun boss battles.

This is an excellent choice. I've played many a video game to completion, and this is one of the few where I remember the bosses being exceptional. It's annoying as hell, for various reasons, that you have to fight many of them twice (i.e. they appear as sub-bosses later on).

Nope, the End was the old man sniper, the battle you're think of is at the end of the game against the Boss.

Even though he's kind of a minor boss, I always got a kick out of The Butcher in Diablo.

Ahhhhh FRESH MEAT!

Good Minor choice.

Lol, yeah! I remember my 3 buddies and I running in circles around his chamber while he was chasing one of us and the others trying to hit him without drawing too much aggro.
Fun times.

Oh, the 'name' END. Yeah, that was a pretty cool battle.

Now that you mention it, that was probably my favorite one in that game.
