I just finished beating Green Eye in Lost Planet Colonies. It took me about 3 hours. The easiest was probably the final guy in Gears of War. I beat him on the first try.

My brother-in-law has Devil May Cry 4. I haven't tried it yet. Hmm, they are both Capcom titles, interesting.

Normal mode is fairly challenging, but Hell and Hell (mode) seriously shows how much the game hates you. 3 hits and it's game over.

For me it had to be In Metroid Prime 2 where you had to take on this Huge Rock/Monster that would throw rocks at you and then roll around and try to smash you. Forgot the name.
