Bethesda’s follow up to 2011 Skyrim
wasn’t as highly acclaimed as many of
the studios earlier Games a follow for
did succeed in making the player feel
like an integral part in a war between
multiple factions at no point did they
succeed at this better than the Battle

number seven battle for sector Veda Star
despite mixed reviews from critics star
fox zero pleased hardcore fans by
returning the series to its roots
the most memorable mission in the game
battle for sector veda is a large multi
stage space battle that consists of
taking down enemy capital ships before
being tasked to infiltrate the main ship
in many ways similar to the Battle of
Catina and Star Fox 64 the mission
features appearances by fan favorites
bill and Kat and ends with a surprise
attack by Star Wolf this return to the
classic space combat style of a series
was a welcomed one for fans culminating
in an excellent battle across space
the best videogame battles are the ones
that make you feel like the hero and few
game series do that as well as Halo who
is going to be hard to top the original
halo silent cartographer beach landing
mission but Bungie was able to pull it
off near the beginning of the games
campaign as the Covenant invades earth
Master Chief is tasked with defending
the planet from the alien onslaught as
chief the player makes their way across
the city of new Mombasa both on foot and
driving a scorpion tank repelling
covenant forces as you go the result was
one of the most satisfying missions in
when playing through the Terran campaign
of this sci-fi realtime strategy classic
it’s not long before you come to this
intense standoff the missions objective
is simply to defend your base and
survive the Zerg onslaught until the
timer runs out the mission is both
difficult and fun making the player feel
like they are part of an intense alien
conflict balancing resource and unit
management forced players to learn the
game fast or fall to desert whether you
decide to go on the offensive or play a
safe and protect your base this video
game battle manages to stand out from
number four Battle of Endor Star Wars
the climactic Battle of the second Death
Star is brought to life in this space
combat classic and the final mission of
the game’s campaign you take control of
wedge antilles and are tasked with
holding off the Imperial forces until
the Death Star’s shield generator is
deactivated before taking the fight to
the death star itself the game does an
excellent job of placing you in the
midst of a massive and iconic space
battle in the Star Wars universe and
holds up exceptionally well even today
finally at the game’s conclusion the
player destroys the Death Star and makes
their big escape alongside Lando
piloting the Millennium Falcon number
three complete mayhem bully a prep
school riot serves as the backdrop of
one of rockstars most memorable missions
at the conclusion of bully main
character Jimmy Hopkins has earned the
respect of each of the school’s factions
one by one but archenemy Gary has gotten
jimmy expelled and instigated a riot
Jimmy teams up with the allies he’s made
over the course of the game to quell the
school’s riot and expose Gary eventually
getting himself readmitted to Bulworth
Academy the level serves as a perfect
cap to a hilariously ridiculous game one
that we hope Rockstar might revisit one
day coming on tiny boy yes sir sorry
didn’t see you there number two the
Battle of Kara Morin The Witcher 3 Wild
Hunt thank you for coming the Wild Hunt
will be here soon they’re coming for
ciri wanna take her we’ll stop them how

always know where I teleport to and they
move from place to place in an instant
so what’s our plan one of the highlights
of CD Projekt Reds modern-day RPG
classic was this defense against the
Wild Hunt assault on The Witcher
stronghold of Kara Morin taking on the
role of Geralt of Rivia players are
tasked with protecting the fortress from
a supernatural army known as the Wild
Hunt the player begins by making several
strategic choices that can affect the
outcome of the battle when the assault
begins Geralt must protect the
stronghold from being overtaken by the
Wild Hunt forces it’s an immensely
enjoyable experience with strong
gameplay superb storytelling and a
it doesn’t get much more iconic than
this back before it became the military
FPS behemoth that it is today
Call of Duty was a young upstart
franchise looking to overthrow Medal of
Honor as the king of World War two games
with the game’s second numbered
installment in 2005 players eventually
found themselves storming the beaches of
Normandy as an American soldier watching
allies being gunned down as the
deafening sounds of artillery and
conflicts around you it’s a truly
stunning experience that feels
