I downloaded a chess game for my iPhone to play on my daily commute, and such. On my second game the AI made an Illegal move (the rook took a piece diagonally) needless to say I deleted it.
Points where it feels like the game itself is cheating?

I have another one!
When that asshole AI Director in L4D spawns 5 hunters and 2 tanks when you're two seconds away from reaching the gold time.
Oddity is Street Fighter 2. When an opponent does a move that requires them to hit back they never actually move backwards.
Pokemon Trading Card Game was also really cheap with that bloody coin, sod's law will ensure that your attacks will miss over and over and he will get that 20+ bonus knocking your silly ass out of the game.
Thnakfully I've beaten the Pokemon Trading Card Game now.....still missing about 4 cards.

in puzzle quest challenge of the warlords it always seems that the computer gets way to many lucky drops or well placed multipliers.
Edit: Mario Cart Wii is so cheap even when playing with people because the people in back get too good of powerups. One time when I was 3 seconds from winning I was hit with 5 items( a red shell, a blue shell, another red shell, a green shell, and lightning) and I lost.

Prototype cheated like mad. I swear all the big monsters could throw curve balls at me. I would wait til the object is in the air and dodge it but the damn thing would track me and get me unless I made it around a corner. Even that didn't always help.
I believe you have WaW and COD4 confused. The AI in 4 doesn't through more grenades - they're just hella accurate, and cook them off too.Stalk3rchief said:
Now in WaW, they see a bush rustle, they throw a thousand grenades at it/you, call in bombers to carpet bomb with grenades, and each grenade that explodes spits out 3 little grenadlets.
Jinpachi has been mentioned enough times. He's just a bastard. I never beat him any other way except throw spamming.
My other picks are Painkiller: Battle Out of Hell's Leningrad level on the normal difficulty setting and up. Right at the start there's shooting enemies in front, behind, above and over you, exploding "Allah akbar"-suicide bombers, a hyper-resistant officer and a tank coming at you. And it gets even worse from that. Also, when I first played Oblivion and fought against the first wolf I met I was like "COME ON". That level scaling is just so stupid.
Anytime you start a mission in Stronghold Crusader with the enemies having more gold than you at the start they immediately build an entire castle basically from scratch. And in about 2 minutes they're at your walls.
Area 51's last few sections were a true pain in the ass even on the normal difficulty setting. There's no quicksave function, so you just have to start from the previous checkpoint over and over. Especially the part where the enemy spawning alien is behind a barrier, protected by a turret gun. It has a shield which takes about 6 shotgun blasts at point blank range to break, but you aren't there, 'cause you're trying to kill the enemies, which constantly respawn by the alien which you have to kill but can't kill cause he constantly respawns enemies etc. you get the point.
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. A great game, but it has one major problem: the boss fight against the two guys of which one wields a sword and the other something I can't remember. They can only be defeated by getting through a quick time event that is so maddeningly posh about whether or not you have pressed the button at the right time. It had me once screaming "FUCK" at the top of my voice after failing it for like the 7th time in a row.
The first time I played EA's Return of the King game the King of The Dead boss was hard. But the part where you have to escape from the crumbling caves = nightmare. Also the Minas Tirith - Top of the Wall level. I went crazy several times playing it.
Oh yeah, and the original FlatOut. Pretty much the whole game. One mistake during a race and it's OVER.

Could you tell me a strategy for completing the mission were you have to defend this village?Uncompetative said:
I mean that thing is nearly impossible, considering the other teams are useless, your squad couldn't defend shit, the enemies come from all sides, and if you fall back to much you fail the mission. And this call for help will also be my contribution to this thread.
''Etherlords II is more-or-less a knockoff of Magic: The Gathering. This means that the player has a "deck" of spells to play; you'd think the computer functions the same way, but, no. Every computer player has a preset response to the possible threats you throw at them. If you don't, they simply spam an attack combo over and over and over, regardless of resources and never running out of cards. Take one fight: On Turn one, each player has one resource. On it's first turn, the computer summons a creature costing two. It then casts a spell that costs another two, and a third for another two. So the computer has spent six in one turn, roughly 8 turns before you will be able to do the same. The computer will proceed to do this every round, for the rest of the fight. ''
''Racing missions in all the Grand Theft Auto games also suffer from the fact that traffic exists only around the player character. If you let the opponents out of your sight you'll never catch them again because they won't have to avoid traffic anymore. ''

Sorry, no. I haven't got that far yet.philosophicalbastard said:
However, I googled this:

There is a whole message board for Operation Flashpoint 2 strategy tips at Gamefaqs.
Also, I am planning on getting the Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising - The Official Strategy Guide by Future Press.
Gothic 3. Enough said.
Its glorious Oblivion, "YES FIRST DAEDRA SWORD TIME TO OWN! Die bandit! Wait you have one too...all of you do??? If you own one and massive armor why are you bandits??? AAhhh" never being stronger than guards unless you crank the skill down a ton, and just EVERYTHING LEVELING WITH YOU! A crab should only be so strong gosh dangit!

The race through the city against errol in Jak 2. I'm not allowed to miss one ring or i lose. but I've pushed him away from a ring on several occasions, and he just keeps going. I realize it would be unfair to instantly win if this happens, but he could at least slow down a little
Also that first Blitzball game in FFX. Here is the epitome of this: Its the start of the second half. The Luca goers got the ball broke through my defense, passed to a guy with a much higher shoot stat than my goalies block, and scored. There was literally nothing i could do about it. The game wants you to lose there.

Ugh, so many times.....
Anyone else remember Trapt? The cheating little bastard of an A.I. Insta kill magic spells that go through walls, the AI knows where you are at all times, even if it can't see you. That plus the first one means they could essentially fire those spells at you from the other side of the wall, and there is no way to dodge it. You just sit and hope they miss(which is unlikely since the spells are twice your size) Traps that only work on certain enemy types(some made sense but fighting that freaking sword guy in the castle? Forget about it)
Heh, I remember my first fight with lady luck in MGS2. That was effed up. I had no idea what the hell to do, and the only indication that shooting at her was actually doing anything was the faint moaning sound she made.
