Top 10 Frustrating Moments in Gaming

There are many frustrating moments in gaming and to say that these ten are the “top ten” for everybody would be foolish. These are the top ten that have irked GameShark over the past few years and they are in no particular order. The reason for that is that they all suck. Yep—each and every one of them. One doesn’t rate worse than the other because they are all horrible to have to deal with and as such they are all number one on the list. So, think of it more like “GameShark's personal top ten in no particular order.” Your moments will undoubtedly be different but hopefully you can relate. Tags: Gaming

Gamertell Reviews: Ninja Gaiden II for Xbox 360

Gamertell has posted an early, so-so review of Ninja Gaiden 2 for Xbox 360. From the review:

"If you like blistered thumbs, splinting headaches or yelling at the top of your lungs out of frustration, then you’ll probably like Ninja Gaiden II...
