The Lord of the Rings, The Third Age
I played on easy. Berethor, Idrial of Lothlórien and Hadhod/Eoaden (I wanted Hadhod in my team as he was a dwarf but he just wasn't good enough so I started levelling Eoaden even though this third party member wasn't that important.) were the members of my team.

It was a bit hard at some points, like in Helm's Deep, but then Berethor got a sword with lifesteal and I just couldn't stop laughing.
Berethor had a high chance of dealing counter attacks (costs 0 turns) plus some kind of leadership shout that further increased his and the other party member's chance of dealing counter attacks. When someone or something attacked Berethor he, five times out of six, would counter attack with his lifesteal sword. The lifesteal and damage of his counter attack was so great that received more HP through lifesteal than his actual maximum HP.

On top of this, I had Idrial. She had a spell that gave her an extra turn without costing anything but mana - at the cost of some mana, Idrial was allowed two moves per turn. I then simply combined this spell with another one. This other one was sort of like a buff, when applied the subject would be instantly resurrected with full HP and mana as soon as it died (this would not cost the subject any turns either).

Eoaden had some good tactical moves that I can't remember. I didn't really need a third party member though, as soon as Berethor had gotten his sword.

Nothing seemed to be able to stop me until I encountered a developer dick move, got tired of the game and returned it to my friend.

In command and conquer yuris revenge as the british i made about 12 aircraft bases and made 3 groups out of them (16 harriers per group). i then periodically levelled an important enemy building (usually the super weapon) untill my super weapon was charged, and id use that on whoever pissed me off the most, after you get that many planes you cannot be beaten by the AI

Having chosen the Jedi Guardian (and subsequently Weapon Master), the final hours of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II showed me how pitiful Sith Lords really were.
Especially when you toss on master force speed and flurry lol. A point where I felt like an over-powered badass was... OH! playing God of War 3 with infinite rage of sparta (or whatever it's called) on.

At the end of KOTOR 2 where I could clear out rooms with Force Lightning Storm or paralyze them with Force Wave and cut them all down with my lightsaber.

Those Mech sequences in F.E.A.R. 2 really felt like a cake walk sine your health bar is about 10 times bigger then all the other mechs, and small arms do as much damage to you as sling shots.

Borderlands.
but only when playing through the second play through. you can go back to when all enemies are level 1 ext. and have a few brief moments of godlyness.
before getting bored of there being absolutely no challenge
Err...
The lowest level enemies on the second playthrough are level 32.
The game will kick your ass, even at maximum level, especially in Knoxx.

I've been playing disgaea: hour of darkness on the PSP going in to the item world over and over, And now i have a LV26 warrior with a 6348 ATA ax and a stinky jacket with over 4000 DEF,...He don't lose.
You're new to Disgaea, aren't you?
With such low stats, you will lose.
This is a game where you get stats up in the millions, and do damage in the billions.

When I restarted Dante's inferno in resurrection mode (keep all stats from previous completed game). Even though it was on hard, the enemies couldn't do anything against me, I don't think I lost any health til about the 2nd boss.

Seriously, whoever thought it'd be a good idea to include a boss with 50 million hp should be sacked.
Final Fantasy XIII didn't get the memo on that. Everything Chapter 10+ has near or over 3-5 million HP. Granted, 30 hours of unadulterated grinding will make that mute, but! Argh!

Ridiculously overpowered moments? Any boss fight in KotOR 2. Hells, the only way I could force myself (no pun intended) to
die against Sion
near the end was do nothing and let him hit me for 20 minutes. -,-

Just did a Twisted Treeline match in League of Legends. I never played Nasus as well as i just did. 15/0/5. The enemy was a good team too, skill and champion selection wise.

In a six player game of Starcraft with buds, where we each said we would not make a move against anyone else for 12 minutes, and would build as much as we could then map storm. I was Zerg and snuck plenty of lurkers into key bridge crosses. When the fighting started, I moved them a tiny bit closer and watched them eat the map. Devourers and Mutas above kept my friends carriers at bay, and I simply went around the fleet of wraiths. It was a good day.

Oh, and Plants vs Zombies, endless mode. I went 36 levels without losing a lawnmower. Then about to 60 before I had difficulties I couldn't manage.

in final fatasy 7 when i had my knights of the round table maxed out and a maxed out mimic materia. i just kept using mimic and i felt kinda sad over how much brutality i was inflicting. Oh and if you ever played golden sun lost age with maxed characters and summon catastaphe on those gladiators from the first game..it just felt so damn wrong....poor blokes.

Orlandu, FF Tactics.
Yes. The closing chapters of the game were sadly lacking the challenge the rest of the game had, all because of him.

Oh, and I remember ANY Pokemon game I ever played, I always just used my starter, completley forgetting to switch to any of my other Pokemon, to the point that I had a LV80 charazard, and LV30-50 everything else.

final fantasy 12. i didnt even have to fight the final boss because my main 3 characters were like 10 levels above his. i set my gambits and went in to the kitchen to make a sandwich, when i came back he was pretty much dead. i would have been disappointed at how easy he was but by that point in the game, i had learned to pretty much expect final fantasy 12 to disappoint me at every turn (and the only reason i played through the game in the first place is because my friend made a bet with me that i would never finish the game)

F.E.A.R: While I never played it up until the end, I did play a part of it. While the game is absurdly difficult when playing normally, Bullet Time is so powerful and regenerates so quickly that nothing really poses a threat. Plus, as Yahtzee mentions in his Perseus Mandate review, having such a power preety much undermines any horror elements the game might have.

Final Fantasy I&II: Dawn of Souls: I also only managed to play a part of this (although a significant part), but I followed someone's walkthrough advice to grind up a level or two at the beginning. From there, I was able to breeze through most of the game as my party consistently remained a lot stronger then the enemies.
