Are you a wimp, or hardcore player from hell?

For me the worst game (ie hardest) was Onimusha on the PS2, mainly because of the awful turn and move control system that i really hate.

Try Ninja Gaiden (Xbox, or the new Ninja Gaiden Sigma remake on the PS3). That game is sure to make you want to scratch out your eyeballs - even though the controls are quite a bit better than Onimusha, admittedly. Single most frustrating game ever, even on Normal mode.

Games nowadays do generally appear to have become easier, maybe to cater to the masses of casual players.
