Arthur's Hall of Manliness (yeah, I know, that name just OOZES video game credibility) brings us a list of games that pass the site's rigorous battery of tests. Thus is born "The 10 Manliest Video Games Ever (http://www.arthurshall.com/x_2006_manly_video_games.shtml) "!

While wasting your life away on a couch playing video games isn't as manly as killing small animals for food, or going to war against the forces of tyranny, we decided that in the end, video games are a manly form of entertainment.
Fans of Maddox should like this... I got quite a few laughs out of it. Especially the breakdown of the "manliness quotient" of every character of Street Fighter II.

Saw this a while back on another forum. I'm all about Contra winning the top spot, as it's one of my favorite games of all time. I've beaten it twice without losing a single life.

As is so wont to happen, though, he desecrates the one true code.

Wow, I didn't even think about that when I was reading the article.

That is pretty much a travesty.

No, the article itself is a travesty. Between the awful grammar and stale, boring jokes (blantantly ripped off from Maddox), I cannot figure out why this is front page news, let alone why anybody at all would find this the least bit readable.

Indian rape, mostly. I've seen that screenshot about a million times now, and it still makes me laugh a little inside. It's mostly the expression on their faces.

For those who are interested, check out game version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, also on that same system. You play as Leatherface as you dodge the speeding wheelchairs of everyone's favorite victim: Franklin!

Chronicles Of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay is the manliest game ever conceived.

Unarmed? No problem, just grab the enemies gun and make them SHOOT THEMSELF IN THE FACE. While in first person.

Armed with just a shiv/screwdriver/piece of glass? Sneak up behind a guy and plunge it into the fuckers neck.

Cant see in the dark? Fuck flashlights, turn on your eye shines to see everything in its violet coloured glory.

Did you just pay a guy a few credits for some information? Once you get the information, go ahead and bash his skull in to reclaim your hard earned credits.

You do not collect stars in this game, oh no, you collect packs of cigarettes!

Oh, yeah, and your goal the entire game? Bust out of prison.

Not to save the world, save a damsel in distress, serve a country, stop a war, save a crippled child, cure aids or feed the hungry, your one and only goal is to get out of prison.

Yeah, this guy put 'shock' and 'funny' ahead of 'manly'. Kinda makes the point of calling it the 'Manliest Games' moot. Custer's Revenge is really the golden child of 'shock' games to put on any list, at that. And besides, where's Leisure Suit Larry?

/edit: And Duke doesn't wear glasses, he wears shades. There's a difference. ;)

"Essentially the same character as Ryu, Ken wears a red gi and sports the same move set. But Ken is from America, and thus more manly. His uppercut is dominant."

I thought that was pretty funny

Quoted For Mother Fucking Truth. I remember during the part when you have to sneak out of the infirmary and I got caught by the fuzz, both armed with those machine guns. I grabbed one, turned his gun around and shot him in the face. The other guy I charged and shoved my scalpel right into his throat.

I just wanted to throw my fists into the air and scream my manliest victory scream.

They need to fucking sort out getting this on the 360, pronto
