18 Video Game Moments That Gave You Memories For Life

10. Taking Down The Hydra - God Of War

The game that truly popularised quick-time events with a hefty dose of incredible boss battles and interactive set-pieces, the moment you knew you were in for something truly special, came with the game's first showdown against a monstrous, multi-headed hydra.

Boss battles don't get much better than this. Or do they?
