Enemies Too Fun Not to Kill Over and Over Again

If you play video games, you’re probably are aware of the oodles of violence involved. Faceless enemy soldiers, splicers, countless aliens, zombies, mob bosses, hammer bros; we all partaking in our fair share of virtual killing.

Amongst all this digital slaying, there are undoubtably enemies who are more thrilling to kill than others. For example, ending the life a God of War cyclops is more thrilling than those pesky little harpies.

So, forget about all those boring enemies and let’s go over some of the most enjoyable enemies to slay.

Goombas/Turtles (Mario Series)
Nothing is as satisfying as jumping on these classic foes and laying them flat in Mario’s wake. Besides the amazing sound effects, hopping on turtle shells and riding around on them in Mario 64 ain’t too shabby either.

Colossi (Shadow of the Colossus)
The only enemies in this amazing game from Team Ico (unless you count the lizards), each one offered an epic task to bringing each to its inevitable end. Aside from the possibly annoying final colossus fight, scaling each of these enemies and stabbing them to death will never get old. Even if it was all part of some nefarious plan…

Bikers (Road Rash)
Road Rash was the shit for the Sega Genesis and pretty solid in its N64 iteration. Hopping on a crotch rocket and whipping other racers (or cops) with a chain so they get tossed from their bikes is simply bad ass. Not to mention Viper is a prick.

Nazi Zombies (Call of Duty: World at War)
As gamers, we all have probably have killed plenty of zombies and plenty ofNazis. In fact, for some, it may have gotten bland killing Nazi after Nazi and zombie after zombie. In these times, the only prescription is a round of Nazi Zombies to freshen the palate.

Regenerators (Resident Evil 4)
The regenerators in this game offer some of the most tense and creepy moments in the entire game. Identifying each parasite in its body and eliminating them so they explode is probably some of the best *phew* moments in any game. Just thinking about their sniveling in the distant sends chills down my spine.

Beggars (Assassin’s Creed)
While not really enemies, beggars were a constant nuisance running around the cities of this highly repetitive game. A little “stabby stabby” from Altair’s hidden blade and no more pain-in-the-ass beggar. Too bad the game gets a bit angry with you when you kill “innocent” citizens…

Cows (Diablo II)
Finding a character to rush you through this addicting game so you can get to the secret cow level for mad levels ups is probably something many Diablo II players are used to doing. This Easter Egg level that featured walking cows with giant halberds is highly entertaining at first play. Nothing beats sending a high level frozen orb into the fray and listening to the incessant mooing.

Super Mutants (Fallout 3)
Having a group of these giant irradiated green bastards chasing after you is never a good situation. However, taking advantage of the VACS in this amazing game and systematically disarming and killing them will never cease to bring a sense of empowerment for those wandering the wasteland.

Boars (World of Warcraft)
Because what else will you slay for XP in the event that a real life Jenkins emerges in the World? Make sure to have the Paul Stanley on loop and prepare for spending 21 hours a day slaying these seemingly docile animals.
