6 Video Game Bosses That Are Freaky As Hell

There was a time when video game bosses were pretty straightforward. Since they usually came in the form of a spider or a helicopter, you knew you what you were getting with boss fights in the first few generations of gaming (think Nintendo and Super Nintendo Era).

Piggsy From Manhunt

Let it be known, the entireĀ Manhunt game is freaky as fuck. It’s basically you playing in a snuff film, with the one bit of solace you take away from it being that the people you are killing are all slime ball psychopaths, too. But the one slime ball psychopath to top them all is Piggsy: The sick, naked man who wears the skin of a pig and carries a chainsaw.

Flash back to the early eighties, and me running under Bowser in Super Mario. I had no inkling that at one point, that would evolve to this. But I am not talking ill of this game. Piggsy was the perfect final note in a game thats whole point was to make your skin crawl. There are few feelings on Earth I would imagine are quite as scary as being pursued by a naked pig man with a power tool (or two, wocka wocka).

It was a nice change of pace for the game as well, because up to that point, you were the one doing the stalking. With Piggsy, it suddenly felt like the tables had turned. Also, it’s a naked pig man with chainsaw. Like I even need to say anything else. A picture alone would have worked for this entry.
