games are usually played to have fun and relieve stress, but have you ever played a game that you liked which actually caused stress for you?

sports/fighting games online usually do that for me. as much as i like fight night and ufc undisputed, playing those games online stresses me the **** out with all the spammers, cheesers and ****talkers you encounter :evil:

Super Mario Sunshine on those levels where you have to get the 8 red coins. The big rotation wooden block ones, etc

No More Heroes I & II on bitter mode

Idk if stressful is the right word but some parts of Amnesia were pretty stressful. Having thoughts like "God dammit, I really don't want to go back into that room" crossed my mind pretty frequently

This. :P

Try God Of War with spinning columns. :P

Counter Strike, wen i was really playing for hours on end. The most stressful gaming days of my life, damn..

QWOP is a pain in the ass to play.

Uncharted 2: museum heist level, Tenzen ice cave level, and most shoot out portions

Assassin's Creed 2: While I enjoy the game overall, the controls need work. Too many frustrating parts where it feels like Ezio has a mind of his own and I jump in a strange direction.

Flower: The level with the electrical transformers. No other portion in any other game perhaps ever has put me on edge like that level. So stressful

In my recent memory, Uncharted 3's shooting part.IAmNot_fun

YES!!!! the weak shooting mechanics in that game make some of the shootouts frustrating as all hell...

It's not an acronym, it's the name of the game.....

Being chased or chasing in AC2 when Ezio would jump someplace else totally off my aim and control and I would either die, get caught or loose my target.

Also Uncharted 2 fighting the fake sasquatch monsters...

Dark Souls with its troll ending to boot.

NBA 2K11 my player mode:

The cpu freaking cheats all the time

Ninja Gaiden 2 on Master Ninja.

And dodging lightning in Final Fantasy X. Who the f*ck approved that?!

Starcraft 2 multiplayer is worth a mention. For me though, it's gotta be when I was leading my clan in L2 in sieges and mass PvP for raid bosses. It's like you have to think for 100 people instead of one.

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles on PSP Rondo of blood. Just could not beat it at the end.

Moto GP without question since many times in a tight race with an awesome sense of speed that game delivered, mah heart nearly pounded right outta mah chest. :o

Super Meat Boy.

Rage.

Pure rage.

Arma 2, at moments. Nothing quite as heart-pounding as running through a forest while being shot at, and you aren't even sure from which direction.

Almost any game in hard mode or that simply is hard on normal mode. Also when I was younger horror themed games. I could only play by bursts and in daylight. >.>

The Dead Space games are high on the stress factor, probably a lot more so than horror.TheOtherTheoG

Any shooter where I am forced to aim with analog sticks.

Morrowind.

Good lord, the Cliff Racers...I mena, just...god damn! They're so numerous and they're just everywhere, they never let up! I mean, they're not difficult by any stretch of the imagination but there is just SO MANY OF THEM. God dman cliff racers I want to rest and replenish my health, stop invading my sleep! Get the hell down here I want to kill you and rest stop hovernig above me! Jesus christ, how can this get worse? OH GOOD! NOW MY LONG SWORD IS DEAD AND MY PROFFECIENCY IS IN LONG SWORD AND I HAVE NO MORE WEAPONS SO NOW I HAVE TO RUN AWAY! OH BUT MY STAMINA IS LOW! Fan-freaking-tastic.

@#$% cliff racers...@#$% them all to the ashlands. Damn creatures of Morrowind....thank god they got rid of them in future itterations...damn it...

Playing multiplayer games always seem to stress me out. I'm too competitive for my own good.

Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising stressed me abit, that one shott kills sent me raging over about an 1 hour long gameplay progress

Im also suprised no one has mentioned Demon Souls, i didnt play it but i saw a friend of mine play it, crazy game

Galactic Attack. I'm literally sweating buckets, and my heart is thumping like crazy by the time I reach stage 5, and yet I always come back for more.
