All games have their high points and inevitable their low points, here are a few I've come across.... feel free to add your own....
SSX - High point: pulling off the most complicated trick in the book, to the jealousy and wonder of my friends
Low point: Landing on my head doing it....
Zone of the Enders: High point - playing the free MGS2 demo
Low point: getting to the end of the game, thinking there was more to do, and finding that there wasn't going to be any more
DOA2 - High point: beating the game with each character for the first time
Low point: setting age as high as possible, not enough wobbling
Freak Out - High point: Getting a loan of it from a friend, thus saving me from buying it
Low point: playing it
Timesplitters:
High point - first few hours of gameplay
Low point - Any other time spent with it
Red Faction: High point: getting very far into the game without getting killed
Low point: forgetting to save from the start
Perfect Dark: High point - beating the game on all difficulties
Low point: same old ending
Goldeneye: same as perfect dark
Shadowman (N64): High point - killing everything in sight and getting to the end
Low point: spending hours lost in the catacombs, then realising that there was a free map in the instruction booklet (that'll teach all you 'I don't read instructions people' !).
I've been told to try to keep my posts short so I'll stop here... please read and add your own....

Tomb Raider 3:
High Point - Trying to shoot the butler
Low Point - The underwater mirror-room bit.
I mean how the fun are you supposed to figure that out? It's not like your Patrick "Aquaman" Duffy is it?
No, you are swimming blindly in panic and oh, stop and look in the mirror and study the ceiling.
Bah

GT3 High: Leading my several seconds on the last lap of a particularly long and/or difficult race.
GT3 Low: Clipping the barrier on one of the last corners, spinning out of control and finishing in 6th. :-(
