Heroes of Might and Magic III because I can't beat it unless I use the map editor to cheat.
An athletics game back in the days on my Gameboy (the original one). For almost event you had to alternately press the A and B buttons as fast as possible while still having to care about the individual mechanics of the event. Brutal for both mind and body/fingers... 
Marriage.
Or Shadow of the Horned Rat when you've told the Amber Wizard to pike off.

This answer is definitely a cop-out, but any multiplayer game ever. Especially Dota 2, Counter Strike, and Star Craft 2.
The hardest single-player game I've ever played is harder to answer. Hmm... possibly TW2 or Metal Gear Rising Reveangence on the hardest difficulties. It's really hard to pick one.
EDIT: My brother told me to say Super Mario 64 "because the camera is awful."

Hard Reset. Still have nightmares about the parking garage
SF4 online. Because Japan.
Ghosts and Goblins
Kid Icarus
Playing the original Spelunker right now. Extremely uncompromising game design but still balanced.
Spelunky
Raiden series
TW2 arena mode.
Mass Effect on insane was pretty damn hard
Far Cry was demanding for me, especially when you got to the creatures.

A good fight of SSBM against my friend (a Marth main) is always a challenge.
Hardest first person shooter? Probably a game called "Verdun." Most accurate WW1 simulator out there. (If you're shot by a rifle, machine gun, grenade, artillery etc. once you're dead)
Hardest third person game? Probably Mount and Blade: Warband Prophesy of Pendor mod is challenging in the long run.
And of course, KAYRAN on DARK!uch::laughing:

uch::laughing:Dude, you hit the nail on the head. It doesn't get harder than that.
Yep, this game is so rigged from the start that it is impossible to beat. Period.
So far the hardest game I've played has been the Sui Generis alpha/betas. The game uses procedural generation for animations (based upon physics) and not static animations (like most games) which means the enemy is unpredictable and you have to use realistic strategies and combat maneuvers to be victorious (feints, parries, ripostes, quick side/back steps, tripping, pinning an opponent to a wall, body checks, etc.). When a game uses static animations you know to counter move A with move B which makes opponents easy to predict and successfully counter. This is not the case in Sui Generis; you have to take into consideration momentum, timing, footwork, positioning, openings, balance, objects and the environment (tripping, getting weapons caught on a wall or other object, etc.), spacial awareness... so many possibilities and variables that every fight is truly unique and not repetitious.
The game also has the most advanced artificial intelligence I've ever seen which is capable of reacting properly to what is occurring around them both in and out of combat. This is no trivial thing since animations are procedurally generated and not the rock-paper-scissors hierarchy you see in games with static animations; everything is situational and the AI must take into consideration all the variables that a player does in order to react appropriately. The AI will also compare what gear you are wearing to what they are wearing in order to determine if they should attack or not. The AI will take advantage of attacks of opportunity (a weaker opponent might become more brave/aggressive if your back is turned or you are already engaged in combat, etc.).

I curse @gregski daily for recommending Super Meat Boy to me. Last year I vowed to finish it, but luckily I extended the vow to this year But I played a lot of Battle Toads in high school, which is like playing Super Meat Boy in an electric chair--no, in a naked Lorado's lap :yes

Easy pick. Devil May Cry 3.
Oh man, the swears I threw when I first played it...
