8. Hacking Quinn's Pacemaker - Watch Dogs
UbisoftWatch Dogs may have fallen somewhat short of our rather insane expectations, but despite being a disappointment, it was a solidly entertaining game for the most part. Easily our favourite moment came near the end of the game, when Aiden finally got to confront Dermot "Lucky" Quinn, the crusty old guy responsible for the death of his niece. After blasting his way through a fleet of fixers, Aiden finally gets to Quinn, though he has himself locked in a saferoom with bullet-proof glass. So, what do we have to do? That's right, hack the guy's pacemaker. This causes Quinn to fall to his knees, and as he remains indignant that he'll die a hero, the player then regains control, able to hack his pacemaker once again, this time shutting it off completely and killing him. Though it may have lacked the thrill of an exciting final boss fight, props to Ubisoft for defying convention yet still giving us a satisfying way to take out the old coot (after all, a gunfight against the guy would have just been silly), allowing for ourselves to decide when to blow his pacemaker. For all of the things Watch Dogs didn't quite measure up on, this is one shrewd creative decision that totally worked.
