what's with the lack of epic boss battle's these days?

This thread is actually good timing for me. I just beat Uncharted 3 last night, and the final boss fight was underwhelming, to say the least.

But, like PullusPardus says, you need to look in the right places. The boss battles in Zelda games and the Souls series are routinely great. Koloktos in Skyward Sword, released only four years ago, is one of the best boss battles I've ever played. Darksiders, Bayonetta, God of War, Arkham, and Donkey Kong Country also boast some excellent boss battles.
