These days no. Most games have a difficulty curve that you'll know when you'll get stuck - but there are still some frustrating missions in there. I particularly hate the ones where you have to lose/die to continue the plot. What evil mind ever thought that up?!
Have snapped an old style joystick in 2 playing Rainbow Islands on the amiga as some of the boss fights were so annoying, needing pixel perfect positioning and having to know the sequence of attacks. Wasn't so much a game as a memory test for masochists.
On completing the game I'm pretty sure I cut the disk in 2 so I'd never be tempted to play it again. But I put that down to cold, hard reasoning rather than rage.

I only did it once. I tore my controller open with my teeth after trying a billion times to get past the Water Boss in a Crash Bandicoot game. Never again.
i smashed my PS3 controller in rage. it now has to be in a certain position to charge and cannot be moved while it does so.
I have never broken a controller in rage somehow.
I have, however, thrown a gamecube wavebird controller through a wall.
Not into a wall mind you, through it.
As in, out the other side and into the hallway.
The amount my parents raged was offset somehow by the fact that the controller still worked, which I found awesome.

I've been known to go into a sulk if the Wiimote battery dies. Usually because I'm in the middle of an epic guitar solo or a Trauma Center operation...
I've never broken a controller but I have had a couple game-induced rages. After being beaten by a particulary annoying and cheap opponent in a fighting game for the upteenth time, I usually have to sit still for a little bit so that I don't go and break something. Thankfully I've always been able to control myself, but I get the feeling surpressing that rage will have some negative side-effects for me in the future...
I'd rather break the game, really.
Breaking the controller solves nothing.
That said, I never broke a controller. Or a game, either.

only once with an N64 controller, but that was more because I couldn't figure out how to hold the frakking thing. I don't have four hands, Nintendo, I just don't!
