In today's video game industry most games stories are filled to the rim with emotionally charged characters, most characters from Gears of War, every single RPG, and any Final Fantasy after 6. Although most of you probobly enjoy this newer medium of telling stories, I personally am not enjoying this newer generation of panzy, girly, drama-filled heroes, so I have compiled a list of the most manly games of all time.

10. Streets of Rage 2

Manliness: Really Manly

We all know Streets of Rage 2, it's super awsome. If you haven't played it, play it. All you do is punch thugs, karate bartenders, and robots, all manly. It isn't any higher though due to the fact that two of the four playable characters are a woman and a scrawny kid.

9. Saturday Night Slam Masters

Manliness: Totally Manly Dudez

Pro Wrestling, not the new stuff that features panzies running around pretending to be ufc fighting drama queens, but the old stuff (Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man Randy Savage) is really really manly. Besides, look at the muscles on these guys, they can bench bress a buss.

8. River City Ransom

Manliness: Imperial Japan Manly

This was going to be lower on the list. Modern Japan is just a bunch of uptight corporate types and cross-dressing anime freaks, but look at that cover! Man, those two aren't even fazed that the entire city's population appears to be flooding in to kick their ass. Manly.

7. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake

Manliness: Snake Plissken Manly

The main character is modeled after Snake Plissken from one of the most manly movies ever, Escape from New York, so I figure that counts for something right?

6. Double Dragon

Manliness: Ninja Manly

This has one of my favorite intros, your girl gets punched in the stomach and taken away. Time to kick ass. You play as a one of two badass brothers that use karate and stuff to beat the heck out of punks, mutants, and super ninjas. SUPER NINJAS!

5. Art of Fighting

Manliness: Biceps the size of a bowlingball Manly

Just look at those sprites, you dude is totally ripped! Even the girl in the game looks like a guy, although that can be a negative depending on how you choose to look at it. Anyway, you play as a karate dude that rides a motorcycle with no shoes, super manly! Then you just go around gym busting and bar hopping to fight the next huge dude. Nice.

4. Final Fight

Manliness: Mike Haggar Manly

Ah, in my not so humble opinion that best beat em up ever. You can play as a tough-as-nails street fighter, the buffest ninja this side of Bolo Yeung, or a pro wrestling mayor with a mustache. Mike Hagger is teh pwns! PS: Doesn't he look kinda like Christopher Lambert here?

3. Contra

Manliness: Moon Battle Manly

Ah, Contra. It was hard, stupid, and awsome at the same time. You play as Bill Rizer and some other guy, but both were huge. Aliens come down to attack, we know aliens aren't good it's just how things go, and it's up to the player to shoot the hell out of em.

2. Duke Nukem

Manliness: Always bet on Duke Manly

You may be surprised it isn't number one, but I'll get to that later, the point is, Duke Nukem is still ultra manly! He stars hordes of aliens in the face with a huge gun, gets with every hot chick, and says the most badass things. I mean there are like ten thousand aliens in his face and he just says confidently, "There's only two ways this can end, and in both of them, you DIE!". If you don't get why it's manly, just leave.

1. Bad Dudes

Manliness: Let's go get a burger Manly

This is THE definitive man game. You dudes are huge, your guns are huge, and the badguys are huge. It has an awsome opening. A bunch of CIA dudes tell the bad dudes that the president has been kidnapped by ninjas and says that if they are bad enough they will save him. So they do. And when you win, the president of the United States of Pain declares that they should go out and get a burger, ultra manly!

There you have it, the most manly games of all time. If you can think of more that I probobly missed, list it below, but remember, anime isn't manly.

So it came, the PS3 slim, and I have been playing KZ2 all day.

Well, I'm getting rid of my 360. I took the PS3 Route. Better exclusive games and a better bargain. Goodbye 360, I only had ya for 5 months, hello PS3!
