Frustration...on a WHOLE new level

GTA IV was released on Tuesday and I have been playing non-stop since I got it. While away from my 360, however, I have been introduced/challenged by two games: Super Mario Forever and I Wanna Be The Guy. For those of you who are unfamiliar with these games, they are HARD. Forget whatever concept you had of something being hard and throw it out the window, pour gasoline over it, light it on fire, then extinguish it with holy water.



Super Mario Forever is a modification (commonly known as a mod) of Super Mario Bros. from the Nintendo Entertainment System. I have played some hard games like the unreleased Super Mario Bros. 2 that was only released in Japan and Ninja Gaiden. I thought I knew what frustration was and was I ever wrong. Here's a screenshot of the first SECOND of gameplay.





The second game is "I Wanna Be The Guy" and let me tell you something folks. Take what you just learned as hard, and repeat the process that you used the first time because this game takes it to ANOTHER level that is astronomically different than what you think of as hard. This game is so hard, I actually use Super Mario Forever to WIND DOWN. Let me say that again, I use Super Mario Forever to WIND DOWN. Yeah, it's THAT difficult.

I am stubborn, so eventually I'll beat it.

Here's my review of "I Wanna Be The Guy".
