I can think of many examples right off the bat but right now I am tearing my hair out over a sequence in the new Aliens Versus Predator game. Specifically playing from the Alien's side I have found myself stuck in a small room leading to a vent that then ends at a rather large cylindrical room that forces air straight up and pushes you to the ceiling and kills you. And my objective is at the bottom of that room, the objective just says:
Get down the ventilation shaft
Yet I have no idea what to do and there's nothing in the adjecent room that can help me.

I tell you, it makes me mad because of how fun the game had been previously, I really wish there weren't moments like that in games.

Ahhhhh got that out of my system, now I can rest a bit.
Just SPRINT down the wall. Don't run, but SPRINT...
Be wary of the sentry guns below...

You want some help? There are vent openings in that wind chamber. For some reason you can jump to and you aren't effected by the wind. I like that level it reminds me of A3.

Uncharted 1 and 2 on crushing. Some sections were "crushing".

Thanks for the tip, both of you. Next time I get the chance I shall give this a try.

What Games have made you throw your controller.

I was playing Fire Emblem: the sacred stones on hard (after beating it on normal), and after playing the same map 15 times, I always seemed to lose a character. Now, I am not a violent person normally but I had thrown my DS across the room.
You threw it across the room? Did it survive the trip?
Luckily, the damage was only cosmetic. Part of the hinge, that does not contain the wires, broke.

most rage inducing one was Metriod prime 2. Fuck the boost guardian.

I loved that game so much.

I can't remember if I raged or not but quadraxis was fairly annoying. And so was the end game battle. Oh, here's two bosses you need to fight one immediately after hte other. Have fun.

Mostly Mirror's Edge, but one of the Assassin's tombs in Assassin's Creed II had me stressed to the point that I had to pause and walk away for a couple of minutes to avoid breaking something. Mirror's Edge is the only one that genuinely made me ragequit, though.

Mass effect 2 on insanity. Damn Harbinger keeps knocking me out of cover and I swear to god if I hear "assuming direct control" one more time im going to kill somebody. Not to mention those damn Praetorians.


It wouldn't be so bad if the game was fair, but no, one shot and you're dead as anything but soldier or vanguard, not to mention my control stick keeps pulling me out of cover at the most inopportune times.

EVERY. DAMN. GAME. EVER.

Pretty much seriously. I don't know why. I'm one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, and I honestly love games and gaming culture. But you stick me in front of a video game and I suddenly become that nasty old man who screams gibberish and shoots wildly at the neighborhood kids to keep them off his lawn.

I'd say maybe those 'games turned my son into Charles Manson' people were onto something, except we're talking Frogger here, not GTA :p

And also MW2, mainly on the level in that log-house where the guys keep showing up non-stop for like 10 minutes on Veteran. (The trick is to hide behind the sofas, no-one sees you and you get at LEAST 5 shots on any enemy coming into the house before they see who's shooting them)
This, but after the house portion. Game saved me at the top of a hill with ten guys behind me and about fifteen to twenty in front, I was on veteran. Took about thirty deaths, shutting the game off, coming back about an hour later, another ten deaths and then four well placed flashbangs only to...
Get my ass shot by that douchebag.

I used to throw PS2 controllers at the floor when I lost a game, because I thought that was what you were supposed to do (I was about 6).

Mario Kart 64. Multiplayer, Rainbow Road. I did so bad on the other races that I was almost jumping for joy as I was in first. The other player uses a blue shell, I fly over the edge, and get 7th place. Cue the controller smashing ragequit.

Killer Instinct for the SNES. For those of you that don't know this is a tournament fighting game similar to Mortal Combat. I could get the the final fight (Idol) but never beat him on the hardest difficulty. After 3 hours of fighting him and many controller throws I turned the game off to only play if my friends wanted to play agsinst me. The computer was sooooooo cheap once it got to like a sliver of energy remaining in its 2nd health bar it would auto break your combo and regain half its health by stomping its hoof. The people who adding that line of code in deserve the deepest circle of hell which in case you didn't know is having to use the oringal JUMBO xbox controller for any game they play.

Those last few stars in Mario Galaxy were a pain to do. I vaguely remember throwing my Wiimote so hard with the strap on that it came back around and hit me.
