Greetings, vocal video game fans. We're back with a long overdue edition of the TenSpot Readers' Choice. A while back, we named our top ten boss battles of all time, a topic that generated much feedback from our readers (as you can imagine). We didn't name our ten bosses based on any one criterion--it wasn't just hardest boss, or most stylish boss, or boss who wouldn't shut up long enough to fight you. It was really a collection of all of those elements and more that brought us to our decisions. In short, the bosses we picked were, to our minds, simply the most memorable we'd ever played against.

As usual, you guys had your own opinions about our list. We got a ton of responses (almost 8,000 in all) when we opened up voting for our reader-selected version of the top ten bosses of all time. Some of you gladly agreed with the ones we picked, while others of you were only too happy to tell us we were wrong. Now the votes have been tallied and the comments assembled, and so we present to you the TenSpot Readers' Choice: Top Ten Boss Battles.

The biggest surprise on this list is that two of the winners weren't even on our ballot--they won simply by being written in by an overwhelming number of people. Obviously, those two are really popular, since enough of you thought of them to beat out the bosses that actually appeared on the list. Anyhow, read on to see the top ten boss battles ever, as chosen by you, the reader. And as always, you can direct any comments or criticism to us.
