10 Video Games That Pissed You Off THE RIGHT WAY

10. Super Meat Boy

Initially developed as a flash game in 2008, Super Meat Boy found a home on XBOX 360 in the fall of 2010. The game has since been ported to a handful of other platforms, and for good reason, as it's seemingly infinite replayability is as addicting as it is unbearably annoying.

Super Meat Boy's gameplay was incredibly repetitive, but in the best way possible. The fast-paced 'trial and error' approach to mastering its mechanics make up a significant portion of the game's overall length. The game is designed to piss you off, and it more than succeeds in doing so, with the elation of finally overcoming a level you've been stuck on for what feels like an eternity being worth the hundred-or-so attempts to get there.

The game doesn't punish death, instead welcomes it. Loading between unsuccessful attempts is non-existent, and each time the player sends Meat Boy diving head first into a saw blade the game immediately invites you to try again.

Super Meat Boy is as frustrating as they come, but the frustration the game provokes is very deliberate, and the player can't help but enjoy the torture.
