What about Aerith (Aeris) Gainsborough's death in Final Fantasy VII ( http://youtu.be/Wx3duFYCcho )?

How can you exclude THAT from the list, when just every REAL gamer will agree that it is one of THE most memorable video game deaths?


I'm sorry, I like these articles, but sometimes you really leave me scratching my head and wondering how you come up with the content of the lists...

This is why Top 5 lists will never suffice. As the admirable Mr Kidman points out again, Pacman too is high in the pecking order. The dude inverts himself and implodes into nothing!
