Frustrating moments in video gaming

Video games are meant to be challenging but sometimes 'challenging' becomes frustratingly impossible. Off the top of my head these are the games that really pissed me off. Feel free to ridicule my choices for frustrating moments in video gaming.

Sports games set to its highest difficulty level

Sports games suck major balls when played on the highest difficulty. It's damn near impossible to beat the AI opponent. Be it basketball, football, American football, boxing or wrestling. In basketball it’s bad enough that the AI doesn't miss shots, blocks everything you throw up there and steals balls like Paris Hilton but your AI teammates are the most worthless pieces of crap. They don't rebound or play a lick of defense. But the worse thing? Shaq being able to guard Chris freakin' Paul on Hall of Fame difficulty.

In football games, the AI scores almost on every attempt. Your teammates stand lazily around watching and refusing to make cuts towards the goal. Same for Madden games; AI bats every pass down and AI teammates, despite being wide open, also bats passes away.

You get the idea right? AI opponents screw your ass and AI teammates point and laugh at what's happening.

M. Bison

Ah, I remember my Street Fighter days at a nearby arcade shop. I saved quarters and bullied other kids to give me theirs just so I could play this sonic boom filled game. Street Fighter was fun up until the point Bison shows up. After numerous quarter-circles and button mashes, Bison always seemed to know what you were thinking. For every Hadouken, he would jump up and dive towards your head; for every shoryuken, Bison would psycho crush your freakin' face.

To make matters worse, after beating you to a lifeless pulp, Bison would hover over your lifeless body and taunt you. Yes, good times indeed.

Professional StarCraft players on Battle.net

StarCraft was and still is an enjoyable multi-player game. The only problem I had was those pro-SC players on Battle.net. Even if you set rules like "no 5-minute rush" or "no battle cruisers/carriers", pros would always beat you to the first attack and surprise you with a balanced attack of troops. Watching your base get raped was not enough for these so-called civilized pros, they would leave one structure unharmed which gave you no choice but to end the game by quitting. And if that wasn't bad enough, he/she/it would send a message that said, "You’re gay, lol". Seriously, what's with the "you're gay" messages rampant in online games?

Scribblenauts' controls

The most recent frustrating game; everything is controlled by the stylus which is the game's downside. While you're trying to make an object do something, Maxwell, the game's protagonist, takes this as a cue to move to the area of touch. If you've played Scribblenauts, you know what I'm talking about. Excellent and innovative premise by 5th Cell but poor control execution and pathfinding. The worst thing? Scribblenauts is extremely addictive; talk about guilty-pleasures.

Silver Surfer on the NES

If you’ve finished this game on the NES please tell what god you prayed to and what animal you sacrificed because I've never seen Silver Surfer so vulnerable. The Silver Surfer I know is an indestructible intergalactic being but the one featured on the NES game is easily knocked out by one shot. Damn, even bumping into a wooden bridge knocks him the hell out. So much for being a superhero Norrin Radd.
