Nobody likes to see a Game-Over screen. As if knowing you suck isn’t bad enough, some games rub it in by torturing you with really annoying Game-Over screens. What could be worse than having to watch your demise from multiple angles, or sitting through the same long-ass cutscene of the world ending every time you fail? Tack one of these onto a tough boss fight, and you have a perfect formula for gamer rage. We’ve hand-picked this lot of Game-Overs that are irritating enough to be hilarious (when you’re not suffering through them repeatedly in the actual game.) Enjoy the show!

What happened to the "You are dead! DEAD! DEAD!" song? Is that in another feature?

I'm pretty sure it was in the cheesiest game songs article. If it wasn't in the article itself, they definitely played it on the podcast when talking about it.

Nice one.

Isn't the Too Human death sequence supposed to be really irritating?

My fave deaths are the classic Metal Gear Solid and also State of Emergency's "You've been killed!"

Hmm I think Crisis Core FFVII was pretty annoying since dying = re-load game and you can't skip movies...so you are up to a boss that will kick your #$%^ just to wait 5 more minutes before trying again.

The real issue is how goddamn long it takes. You die, and lie on the ground for about 30 seconds. Then this metallic-ass Valkyrie thing comes down and slowly carries you off to Asgard or wherever. Valhalla, that's it.

It's like Mass Effect's elevators became sentient.
