What about Metal Gear Solid?
Solid Snake is a serious T-Man
That list looked pretty dated.
Ahh, so it seems masculinity = domination and violence.
Thanks for the memo. :^P
Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go help an old lady cross the street.
Or, was it to tell her to “fuck off, bitch!”?
It’s hard to keep track of what qualifies as masculinity these days.
ElbowStrike
you can help her cross the street.
as long as you spinning hook kick her head off shortly after
On second reading I also Grok’d that manly men always do the exact opposite of what women do.

Reminds me of when this overzealous “Loss Prevention Officer” full-out charged at a 90-year-old woman at the local grocery store for putting some canned food in her purse.
My now-girlfriend saw this, hopped the deli counter, blindsided the LPO and put him in a headlock.
[EDIT: Pardon me, it was a “full nelson” (thanks, Jen).]
Turned out the old woman had dementia, was completely out of her gourd, wandered off, and her family was looking for her. Also had osteo and the tackle would have killed her.
LPO got fired and my now-girlfriend got Employee of the Month.
So if I’m supposed to do the opposite of what women do, does that mean that next time I should tackle the old lady?

achieve the mount.
ground and pound.
sexually ravage.
lather, rinse, repeat.

If you’re about to add that ‘tetris’ or ‘mario’ should be on this list… there just may not be any helping you.
The list blows, mostly. Sure, it has God of War. I SUPPOSE you could throw Gears of War in there - and Duke Nukem’. Other than that, no.
Although it was nice to see Condemned 2 mentioned… super-underrated games for the 360.

Any of the “Call of Duty” series would have been great:
Fighting expansionist Totalitarianism in Europe = Manly
HULK SMASH!!! = Adolescent Boy-ly
Not to mention the Half-Life series:
Gordon Freeman, with three PhD’s in advanced physics, starting out armed with nothing but a crow-bar, fights for the freedom of humanity from The Combine = Manly
POSTAL!!! = Adolescent Boy-ly
That about sum it up?
ElbowStrike
No Contra?

That stuff might be manly if they happened in real life, but as far as video games go, they don’t even register.
