The Devil may Cry games would probably qualify, though there are plenty of people who have finished them on the hardest level so YMMV.

I Wanna Be The Guy

Also, Big Rigs:Over the road Racing is quite hard... if you play to lose.

If the OP wants games that may cause murder and/or suicide, this is a perfect example. You will absolutely want to murder the executive who decided this game was suitable for release. 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For those of you not in the know, Big Rigs has the dubious honour of holding the all-time lowest rating for a video game ever. Most notably, it's a one-on-one racing game where your opponent never moves. And that's not getting into the fact that every non-terrain object can be no-clipped through... or that you accelerate infinitely while travelling backwards... or that you can drive straight up cliffs and saunter out of the map...

If you want more information, check out the GameSpot review, which features a video review of the game. Seriously, it's worth checking out.

La Mulana
Kaizo Mario World is a romhack, but retardedly hard
Most Shin Megami Tensei games
Gradius
Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels
Demon's Souls, and the spiritual sequel Dark Souls is going to be harder

Compared to the other stuff in this thread, Devil May Cry is pretty tame. DMC2 is actually pathetically easy.

Haven't played DMC4 yet, though.

First of all, why do Touhou people have to turn fucking everything into Touhou.  It's like the borg or something.

I think this is irrelevant to say if you come from Bay12. As everyone here turns everything into Dwarfs.

Just saying.

[nenjin]

The Queen of Touhou has a point

[Heron TSG]

Odama: Voice-controlled battlefield game mashed together with pinball. SO DIFFICULT.

TMNT III was hard too.

And then we complain that everything is shamelessly ripping off DF.

Difficulty-dependent, of course. If you're playing on the easy difficulties, sure, it's trivial. Beating the top difficulties basically requires a lifetime of dedication to mastery of split-second reactions and insane key combinations (double distorted hits, anyone?). Never mind beating them with S rankings.

Hmm.  Would this tendancy be enough to drive you to murder and/or suicide?

I'd like to expand on that spoilered description.

Not only is this a game where your opponent never moves... No, it gets better. After a patch, the opponents received the ability to move along the track. However, even if you get lost or cruise off to hyperspace beyond the map, and then return to the finish line, even if your opponent has crossed it (they're programmed not to), crossing the finish line will still cause you to win. With the famous "You're WINNER" displaying. It's literally impossible to lose at this game, maybe because all the losing happened during development.

[lordcooper]

Well, winning is fun.

Wait...

[Myroc]

To add to the list of hard games, pretty much every roguelike out there, but some more than others. I'd recommend NetHack.

[Erkki]

Chess.

Or hard, difficult, only in the hand-eye(-legs-head) coordination wise?

[Neonivek]

Goodness I guess I can put the "difficulty" into three piles

1) Spoiler based difficulty: All Roguelikes... Most annoyingly IVAN (DAMN IT IVAN!!!)
2) Unfair Based Difficulty: I wanna be the guy for example
3) Life Based difficulty: Touhou, Devil May Cry.
