20 Most Powerful Gaming Images Of All Time

6. The Final Boss - Shadow Of The Colossus

The Image: After battling your way through fifteen Colossi, this is the final one that awaits you. Why It's Powerful: Even on its own this would be a jaw-dropping image, but in the game, it invites a pant-filling feeling of "Oh s***". After taking down colossi of all shapes and sizes throughout the game, the final boss is...a freaking skyscraper, and getting a good look at its size and scale reminds us of just how beautifully epic this game is. The sense of adventure, and the feeling that we're about to be in for a tough battle, is summarised entirely in this single image: every other colossus looks puny in comparison to the towering Malus, and our adrenal gland goes into overdrive from just one glance at this humongous beast.
