I'm going to say Smite. For those who do not know, Smite is a third-person Action MOBA (inspired by games such as DotA). Yesterday I got quite angry because I kept losing, even though my score in every single match was pretty good.
Want to know why I kept losing? I think this image explains it very well:

Sorry, THIS is the worst thing From Software has ever inflicted on players... Although I'm not sure whether to blame From, Microsoft, or God.
Last time I acted like that was Pokemon Pinball back on the Gameboy Color. I felt that game was base more on luck (when to press the flippers) than it is to tatic so I pretty much acted like "F--K YOU PINBALL!". Yes I pretty much suck at that game.
Spec-Ops later levels on suicide mission difficulty and presumably all levels on FUBAR difficulty.
Let me hit you with a completely personal example:
There was this old RPGMaker game called Dragon Blade. It was a pretty stock JRPG thingie, but it was written on my first language, and since I was still a kid at the time and I had some troubles with English at that point, having a game I could completely understand pretty much blew my mind at that age. I played the game, and it was okay, even in retrospect. It had good characters, an ATB battle system that was constructed from the scratch (the original RPGMaker 2000 had static turn battles, the programmer of this game actually threw that entire system out the window and made a complex battle-system using in-game variables and sprites), and the story was engaging, so I had a blast with it and sunk about twenty hours into the game in one weekend.
Now, I told you all this so you understand the position I was in at the time: It was my first JRPG, the first time I had spent so much time on a game, and I enjoyed it immensely... and then that event came around...
The characters were in a town that was being razed by a demon, and they had to run away before it caught up with them. It was a fully interactive chase-scene where I had to lead the characters out of the burning town while the demon was following behind them with the same speed, so every moment of hesitation made it reduce the distance... and then the game started to play like a slide-show. Yeah, apparently the game's engine didn't like the 100+ flame sprites on the map, so it started lagging like crazy, and as you might have guessed, it didn't really help my chances in an intense chase-minigame...
So, I got caught. Retry. Got caught again. Retry. This time I ran into the fire too many times and the characters died from burns. Retry. Got caught again. And I did this for four hours for no avail until I snapped. This was the first and only time I ever lost my cool so bad that I threw my keyboard at the wall, but dammit, I was furious about it, especially after I have spent so much time on it. In the end I managed to finish that game once the developer put out an effects-free version so that people without high-end computers could also finish the damn scene, but that game still remains the only title that could ever make me rage hard enough to actually throw something at the wall...

Wellp, I'm pleased that I don't get even remotely angry over games. I don't think I'd be able to handle that, judging by these stories.
Physically angry? Well -any- fighting games like Mortal Kombat, but I distinctly remember denting my metal closet during one annoying match in WWF Smackdown. Mostly just learned to avoid what gets me mad and stopped playing competitively. Sucks because I can't even get into WvW in Guild Wars 2. It's up and down; you're either having a blast, blindly scouting and trying to avoid getting jumped or getting rolled if your world doesn't have the numbers.
I've sat through many a punishing single-player/co-op challenge, but e-sport and structured PvP is beyond my patience.

Always hated the license tests. Destroy AI on the track with ease, practice and spend your best on tests and get bronze 2 out of 3 times...teqrevisited said:
Mario Kart.
All the Mario Kart.
I scream, I throw controllers, I cuss. Nothing but anger, nothing. I physically cannot play that game, as people just leave me.

Mass Effect 2 - Collector Base ambush on hardcore
Abes Oddysee - everything!!!
The Heart of Darkness ? Same as Abes Oddysee just fffffffffffuuuu!!!
Dark Souls - Learning maybe I suck and don't have what it takes to play this game...
Because I'm still on the first level and that god damn monster on the bridge fucked me and now I might be boned.
Bioshock Infinite - Graveyard anyone? Hard mode...I can't be alone here.
Gears of War 3 - clunky gameplay and a terrible story and the fact and any ounce of exposition keeps getting pushed aside by the Story is for Girls avatar himself Marcus.
Resident Evil 5 - The final boss fight, when you have to play as Sheva just oh my god how fucking hard do they expect you to hammer that fucking button?! I honestly at one point just threw the controller up in the air yelling "FUCK THIS!"

Crash Bandicoot when doing the hard levels.
And Jak 2 hero mode when destroying that ship in the drill platform.

ME3 - No, not the actual ending. Playing insanity, I have who the heck knows how many hours invested in completely finishing the game. The last save was before the too-lengthy final battle sequence which I don't want to repeat. And I have one enemy to get past to get my achievement, the infamous marauder shields & friends.
"Hey Bob, you know what would be great. If we totally took away all the skills and powers and weapons the player has relied upon up until now and made the screen blurry and hard to follow. And throw three husks who kill them in one hit at them then a marauder; oh and give them an unupgraded pistol that fires in slow mo. And there won't be time to reload, trollolol"
Yeah, I got it eventually, but many obscenities were screamed.
Gabriel Knight 2 - Here we have a gazillion hour long classic point and click adventure. Maybe one of the best ever made. How does it end? With an action sequence having you turn into a werewolf and have to solve a time-limited puzzle of closing doors to trap another werewolf in a basement full of small rooms and doors. Another werewolf whose whereabouts you have no way of knowing. With your nose. In first person perspective.
Prototype - Tank Escort Mission? #*@&*$#@*

Marvel vs Capcom 3: "Hey, wanna play Dante? Hope you're ready to bruise your fingers futilely trying to bold cancel combos." Jesus, not even MODOK and Magneto were this hard.
i ended up just switching the game to easy for that last stage of bioshock infinite. kinda wish id done that from the start because lets face it, i wasnt playing it for the gameplay.William Dickbringer said:
i used to get pissed so much at video games, when i was a kid. these days i almost never raise my voice. but the last time i remember getting pissed was playing final fantasy 10. it was right before entering the final level and i was trying to get all the most powerful weapons. there were a bunch of chocobo challenges that i could not do quickly enough, no matter how much i tried. i felt so bad for my room mate. he put on headphones and listened to music so he wouldnt have to hear me as i tried for hours to get the weapons and shouted at the tv pretty much the whole time.
Every game where I get angry makes me get physical. Stomping or slamming to make the room shake makes me feel better.
The latest one is the recent Mortal Kombat. Fuck Shao Kahn [HEADING=1]Fuck Shao Kahn[/HEADING]

Xcom
started a new game on classic difficulty.
Died on the first mission. Every single shot against the sectiods missed (even when flanked), had to use grenades to actually kill them. Sectiods...actually had about 50% hit rate which was reasonable.
Until we were down to the last sectiod (3 squadmates left). Then the computer decided to give the last enemy god mode. Every single shot of his not only hit, but crit (and all of my characters were in full cover), AND he induced panic into my squadmate which caused him....to shoot his own teammate.
It was the first shot in the game that my team actually hit with.....and it also crit, killing my own teammate.
The game is insanely fun but sometimes, the computer just decides that you are going to lose and there is nothing you can do about it.
Needless to say I bumped it back down to normal as this started to happen once every 2-3 maps.
