I'd have to go with any of the GTA series. There's more testosterone pumped into Vice City than those 10 games combined.

Dude, that game is fun as all get-out. I've replayed it at least 3 or 4 times in the past few years. I can't believe they haven't made a sequel...then again, I can't believe they made the game to begin with.

It's basically a "snuff" video game.

As far as the plastic bag goes, that's the tip of the iceberg. The nailgun, the hatchet, the crowbar, the scythe, the bat, there are too many to mention. They all get their own special "cut scenes" done in a gritty 8MM-style close up (with three levels of viciousness) when you properly sneak up on a guy and take him out.

For me, the level three ball bat is the best. Sneak up on the guy, choke him out from behind with the bat until he drops to his knees, then go Barry Bonds on his melon and watch cherry pie splatter against the wall.

Injured guys dragging themselves away from a fight moaning, "Please don't kill me, I got kids at home," as you tower over them with a machete...it's priceless.

I have no opinion on the thread, that's just damn funny. Laughing

Me too. It doesn't get much gayer than that.


This is pretty good for those who haven't seen it before (Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat):

Yep.

Manhunt was goofy. Always the same...just Splinter Cell with a psycho. A scripted joke.

The question is, what is "manly"?

I guess most here think it's killing and how brutal it is.

Shallow view of manhood, IMHO. GTA was silly....nothing "tough" about it.

That's not what I meant chest.

Music, graphics, sound, weapons, gameplay...it all adds up, that's what I meant.

Hitman was good for these things...a real "dark stranger" kind of feel to that.

GTA:VC: poorly rendered, no gibs, libs "break" off at the joint when shot, terrible car sounds, corny dialogue...meh...goofy. More like Archie than Arnie...

Q3A: Driving music, awesome sounds, cool weapons, hardcore characters, gritty feel to the graphics, truly exciting gameplay and gishy gibs. Let's not forget the coolness of moving up the ladder with those great intros. In fact, all Id games are like that...I think Carmack is a real geeky, "wannabe" Sarge, so he made games that reflected this desire.

Unreal (first one) was cool, as are the "tournaments", SWAT4, Driver...good "man" games.

what is so gay about Ghost'sn'Goblins? Running around to save someone, just like what Double Dragon (The most manliest game) is based on.

Double Dragon is actually easy to play once you get to know a simple trick. What is so manly about that?
