Top 10 Best Game Over Screens

August 24, 2009 in Top List comments 11

There have been many great Game Over screens throughout the years. Some so good that you don't even mind when it pops up after you die. Go to the source for Vgchartz.com's Top 10 Best Game Over Screens.

What are your favorite Game Over screens?

Welcome to another edition of VGC Top Ten. Today, we’ll cover one of those things a gamer never wants to see. No, we’re not talking about frame drops, random encounters or a broken camera. We’re talking about the dreaded Game Over screens. Maliciously waiting for any mistake to jump on you and tease you with their messages while you lament yourself, they have been an integral part of gaming since the first games were made. Most of the times, they would simply show a “Game Over” screen that’s just plainly boring. But, every now and then, there’s a game that does more than that, a game so twisted that it enjoys picking on you for your fail. Or maybe it feels sorry for you and wants you to have a good laugh, even in defeat. We picked the ones that, in our opinion, are the 10 best ever game over screens, ten screens that go a bit further than just tell you that you lost.

So, without further ado, let the top 10 begin.

    My favourites were the Majora's Mask and Conker's Bad Fur Day Game Overs.

    I've never played Majora's Mask before, so that Game over is pretty cool to me just because it's different to the other games.

    I can't remember any Game Over screens. I never really had any. I think an old PS1 Donald Duck game had a cool Game Over screen.

    I love the Metal Gear Solid one. It was nice knowing how much the other characters cared about Snake. XD

    Some of the Game Over screens I like that weren't on the list:

    Silent Hill 3: Watching Valtiel drag Heather's beaten and bloodied body away was kinda...depressing.
    Batman: Arkham Asylum: I'm going to keep dying over and over again just to see how long it takes for the Joker to start repeating his lines. XD
    Goldeneye 007: It's a classic
    Banjo Kazooie: I always wondered what happened after Banjo lost. Grunty got her wish and turned hot, then what? Does she return Banjo's sister to Banjo? Does she stop terrorizing the town? Wouldn't that mean Banjo technically won?
    Resident Evil: "YOU ARE DEAD!" sums it up nicely. Way to rub it in, RE. XD

      Wasn't Otacon supposed to have affections for Snake (Beyond comrade type affections?).

        Those are evil lies spread by rabid fangirls so that it helps them sleep at night.

          Dreams of Snake help Otacon sleep at night

          *Fangirl alert fangirl alert*

          Repent, and speak no more heresy about Snake.

          Haha!

          I don't even think that Otacon is that attractive...

    Majora's Mask was always my favourite. The original Metroid Prime ending screen is one of my favourites as well, nothing drives home the fact you're dead better than a scream followed by a heart beating rapidly before flatlining.
