Super Meat Boy

For Xbox Live Arcade, Steam, and probably other mediums. This is, by far, the most frustrating game I’ve ever kept playing. Each level bumps up my blood pressure a few points. Every chapter greases my controller more than a large Pepperoni Lovers Stuffed Crust pizza. Boss fights provide Ninja Gaiden II level rage, the only game that ever caused me to throw a controller.

I can’t stop playing it. The feeling of clearing a level you spent the last 1.5 hours on in 35 seconds (true story) is just too good. I can only take small doses of it now, after an all-day play-a-thon Sunday, but every ten minutes of game time is awesome.

A++, would rage this way again. (Thanks to @imjameshall/@_mason_ for the recommendation.)
