Way back in 2004 I created a video (also viewable here) that celebrated the death sequences in some classic (and some not so classic) video games. It seems that the video was so good that GameTap created a similar video and used it in some of their marketing (“Live to die another day” or some such).
And today we have the 8-bit Death Montage. Similar, but different. Both are worth watching, but the one on this site might be a bit more entertaining.
But that might just be me.
