    Yeah! Master Chief and Snake! Although Master Chief should have been #1. In the Kratos video, that waz cool when that chick cried blood.

    What Price does in CoD 4 is sooooo badass, it makes me want to cry. That was just so stinkin' manly.

    chris redfield or leon s kennedy should have been in there i mean seriusly

    Snake does deserve the top spot. Also, they should have put Ryu on the list.

    What? No Commander Shepard?

    Francis hates this list.

    Master Cheifshould f been the first one followed by Captain Price in my opinion

    Snake is the manliest man in all of video games. That fight at the end was simply incredible.

    I'm a Splinter Cell fanatic. Props to Sam Fisher!

    @ corsair 89: yeah, I considered Auron... choosing only 10 is a limiting factor. he'd definitely be part of #11-20 @ lots of commenters: murdering people doesn't make you a Man. i chose to focus on characters who have personal qualities that make them worthy role-models. @TheSuburbiaRuins: Good eye sir, that is in fact the woman who shrilly wails "They're killing the women," etc. and points you in the right direction. However, I used that footage because it was an easily digestible visual representation of Conan freeing women from bondage.

    Where's Captain Falcon? Where's Duke? Ridiculous.

    That's not A’kanna in that scene from Conan, it's just some girl who tells you where A’kanna is.

    No DOOM space marine?

  • lsohfan - February 1, 2009 4:55 a.m.

    WOOT Solid Snake won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Smash_Bro - January 31, 2009 8:21 p.m.

    NO LINK? lol.

  • musashi1596 - January 31, 2009 7:59 p.m.

    Solid snake definitely deserves top spot. I remember looking on in awe in the final stages of MGS4, dragging himself through that corridor... What a moment.

    So Mr. McNeilly, where the fuck is Max Payne? He murders (in cold blood) over 600 fucking guys in the first game, and probably the same in the sequel. He's a fucking monster, and he's not on here. Shame. ReCaptcha: Whalen shrieked

  • superninja - January 31, 2009 4:31 p.m.

    i dont think the fact that master chief has a holographic AI for a girlfriend makes him manly

  • revrock - January 31, 2009 8:40 a.m.

    Pitfall Harry.. dude jumped straight on gator's heads and had no fear of scorpions and snakes. Going through a whole jungle with no weapons at all.

  • Master_Leep - January 31, 2009 7:38 a.m.

    What! Duke trumps them all!
