10 Most Powerful Knockouts In Gaming History

10. Volgin Beats Snake - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Now we have an instance where it's not the player doing the damage, but the antagonist. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Naked Snake is tasked with sneaking into Russia to destroy the nuclear-equipped Shaghod tank alongside eliminating his former mentor. While many of the game's characters are placed into morally grey territory, there's one who is unquestionably evil.

Colonel Volgin is the primary villain for much of the title and he's a brutal one. As a sadist capable of wielding electricity, he's incredibly intimidating and this is felt first hand at the end of the game's second act. After disguising himself as a Russian general, Snake locates his target, only to be interrupted by The Boss.

We see that he can handle a hand-to-fight with Volgin, but once he's subdued by The Boss, a bloody beating ensues. Landing punches to his gut and face, Volgin finishes the job by knocking Snake out with a maximumly charged haymaker.

The crack of the blows landing just makes it all the more painful and at points you'll wonder how Snake would survive such a relentless beatdown. The nightmare is only just beginning for our hero as he's hauled off to the torture room for a gruesome sequence.
