My definition of a good game is a game that doesnt lead to me hopping the controller off the wall and roaring "Stupid fcuking game".

A good game is one where you do end up throwing the control off the wall, and then you go back to it and play it again. And you keep going back, until you are 7 hours and much coffee in and you finally complete that bastarding final level.

They dont make games like that anymore. They are too easy these days.
