You know, I find playing the healer classes very relaxing and fun because I'm not usually right in the enemy's face (I'm sure that would change if I did PvP though). I'd take it any day over controlling a tank...
Add me to the SC2 list. Last night I closed my eyes and saw a mouse clicking around a base with SCV's running around. Supply depos were falling everywhere and I got no sleep

WOW, I have guildies that ninja loot a lot, and they are good with it too, sometime I really felt stressed out trying to make them play honest... yeah and guild drama, loot whore, etcetc.. Being a dps whore myself isn't helping either.
FIGHTING GAMES, I have heart burn and stomach problem whenever I am under heavy stress for a long period of time. Most competitive fighting game managed to give me a heart burn after a few hours of play. Doesn't matter if it is mastering hard combo, dealing with lag, hating myself for sucking, or just wanted to win.
I don't usually go all emo on playing games online, but so far I had most problem dealing with those games.
I am doing okay with WOW now since I just playing it casually with people I knew irl, and I don't take fighting game seriously anymore, I managed to had lots of fun with BB and SSF4 just playing with people in different forums.

Modern warfare 2 mutliplayer, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Fight Night Round 4 nearly killed me. I had a damn good online record and I wanted to keep it that way. Some fights were just way too intense. 
As annoyed as I was by the button patch, it was also a relief since it meant I could put the game away in good conscience. Probably saved myself from an inevitable heart attack.

When a game stresses you out because of a deliberate gameplay mechanic or feature, does that mean it's effective, in that it's actually good at what it does?

Online multiplayer in Halo and Call of Duty, the hardcore fans are not people i enjoy dealing with.

Gets to pilot the crappy patrol labors
Other than 1v1 in Starcraft, which is a given, I'd say Nemesis in RE3 (and the chainsaw dude in RE4 too, I guess).

Healing in WoW isn't really stressful. It's just painful because most fights you can heal really well or really poorly and it doesn't make any difference to the outcome since most fights these days are a matter of DPS keeping their output up while not standing in fires. In my experience ~50% of DPS struggle with at least one of those.
For me:
Starcraft 2 1v1
Diablo 2 HC
Competitive FPS
XCOM
System Shock 2 can be pretty stressful too, but I've played it so many times that I deliberately pile on stressful gameplay restrictions so that it always stays as intense as the very first time.

These days, playing defensive spy against a good team on TF2. Not that it happens that often mind you. The thrill of the hunt and the fear of detection gets my heart racing.

Demon's Souls... but in a very good way!!
Getting the Platinum in this game was one of the best things I've ever done as a gamer.

Killzone 2: balcony part on Elite is unadulterated torture.
Ninja Gaiden 2 on X360 and PS3 on Master Ninja. I was crazy enough to go through both.
Shinobi on PS2 on hard. Wow, no words for this one.
Online fighting games can be stressful at times.

Super Street Fighter IV. I get wild heart palpitation when I play this game.
It's incredibly draining and I hate myself for not playing it more after buying an expensive ass stick (and dual modding it)

Clock Tower 2
The complete lack of sound during most of the game made every Scissorman appearance so much more frightening. Kinda like when I saw No country for old men in theater, I was on the edge of my sight during the entire experience.

By the time I made it to the shopping mall, it was scary to the point of not being fun anymore. I only finished it because I bought it. Stress :^/

Bad Company 2 has been lately. And MW:2 used to but now I realise it's more of a joke, I can handle it.

I remember this, good old 40 man raids. Less wondering if I'm gonna get into a raidfor me, and more trying to keep guild together after fallout and anarchy with our tyrant guild leader. Good times.
Of course right now it's SC2. Macroing, scouting and attacking with zerg is like trying to juggle chainsaws with one hand.

Currently SSF4 and BB:CS

That's what is beautiful about being a DPS class. Unless you manage to pull aggro (which is really easy to avoid) a raid wiping is almost never your fault. Sure you might die to whatever mechanic the fight employs thereby dropping your raid's dps a little, but it is almost never you personally causing the entire raid to get murdered.
Without that weight of responsibility you can just sit back and calmly use your spells in whatever rotation works for your class.
I hate healing in WoW. I would probably develop stomach ulcers if I didn't avoid doing it. The sad part is my main is a priest. I am quite content playing as Shadow and throwing out heals in a pinch. I can't wait for Cataclysm so I can roll a goblin warlock and never be asked to heal again.
SC2 & SSF4 are stressful as well but that's usually before the start. Once the game begins and I get a feel for who I'm up against the stress subsides.

Just watching this video is pretty stressful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wotZMGkR_0M
This guy almost no misses, no bombs the True Last Boss of Ketsui. No dice.
Unfortunately I haven't played this game myself yet.
