Hardest game ever

I could do the same with Legend of Zelda II (pretty easy with all the extra lives around, IMO).

Maybe you can, but it is still the hardest Zelda (The Adventures of Link) in the series, and in combat gameplay-wise is just better than all other Zelda today, if you got two enemies surrounding you things gets pretty rough, and it wasn't always that hard but is just more thrilling to fight when you have that many openings to defend, unlike today's all-purpose-one-button guard/shield, that makes things so easy that it defeats the purpose of using other added action like jumps/dodges. Twilight Princess is the easiest, great cinema sequences but linearly easy. The first Zelda is the 2nd hardest for the fact that you have no clue of what you should do next, and that's what all the new Zelda are lacking, that element of mystery and self-exploration. The only recent game that have those gameplay senses of mystery are Ico and "Shadow Of The Colossus", specially SOTC, it almost felt like playing Zelda II again, it felt more Zelda than the recent Zelda games.
Ohh, and I forgot, Zelda II has the biggest Hyrule ever in any Zelda game.
 
Recently, Dead Space (playing in on a low def TV FTL :(). I died i think about 73 to 90 ++ times on hard mode the first time around.

From memory, hmmm ill have to think about that.
 
Depends on the era. I'd say...

NES - Mega Man. I got farther in Battletoads than I ever did in Mega Man.
Genesis - Kid Chameleon (although, I never really tried to beat this, I just hunted the Samurai suit and went to town)
SNES - Not much was hard here... I guess Super Star Wars
PS1 - Funny how these games got easier as time went on... Parasite Eve for this one (specifically the Chrysler Building)
PS2 - Toss up between God of War and Devil May Cry. Both asked me numerous times if I wanted to switch to Easy mode (but I never did!)
360 - Ninja Gaiden 2, hands down. Normal mode was tough, but Mentor mode is stupid hard.

EDIT - Almost forgot...
GameCube - Viewtiful Joe. Still one of the few games I never finished.
