Bow chika bow chika bow wow~
A co-worker recently posted a list of the top 25 hottest females in games, and while I am not personally opposed to this, I have to say one thing: overrated.
How many top (insert number here) game-girls have we seen since the dawn of meticulously rendered jello-breasts? Too many, I say.
Which is why this gaming woman has taken it upon herself to compile a list from the other side of the chromosome pool. Enlisting the aid of a few other gamer girls and Google, we bring you a Neoseeker exclusive - the top 25 hottest men in video games.
Disclaimer: Do not judge us, for we do not judge you. But feel free to laugh a little.
25. Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear)
24. Hwoarang (Tekken)
23. Iori Yagami (King of Fighters)
22. Mitsuhide Akechi (Samurai Warriors)
21. Raphael Sorel (Soul Calibur)
20. Vega (Street Fighter)
19. Kratos (God of War)
18. Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy VIII)
17. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII)
16. Atton Rand (Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords)
15. Raziel (Legacy of Kain)
14. Sir Auron (Final Fantasy X)
13. Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil 4)
12. Sydney Losstarot (Vagrant Story)
11. Balthier (Final Fantasy XII)
10. Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad (Assassin's Creed)
9. Pyramid Head (Silent Hill 2)
8. Alucard (Castlevania)
7. Siegfried Schtauffen (Soul Calibur)
6. Henry Townshend (Silent Hill 4)
5. Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII)
4. Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
3. Dante (Devil May Cry)
2. Link (Legend of Zelda)
1. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
Now I don't agree with all of these choices, but I guess that's what makes it fair - a lot of the selections above actually make me cringe. I tried to balance it out by rigging the list slightly, but let's pretend it's completely unbiased.
As it turns out, Snake is no stranger to the ladies. Got that, gentlemen? So next time you plan on impressing your woman on Valentine's Day, buy her a nice bouquet of flowers and sneak up on her in a cardboard box. Or give her a really, really big gun - no, the one in your pants will not suffice so please put that away before you hurt someone.
Need a fool proof present? Dress up as a ninja.
Honorable mentions, those being my personal favorites who would have made the list had it been based solely on personal opinion, include:
- Bao-Dur (Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords) *this guy doesn't get enough love
- Kael'thas Sunstrider (Warcraft 3)
- The Spy (Team Fortress 2) *because backstabbing is hot
- Kain Highwind (Final Fantasy IV)
- Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden)
- Naoe Kanetsugu (Samurai Warriors)
- Lieutenant Minh Young Kim (Gears of War) *rest in peace
- Master Chief (Halo)

I would've nominated Professor Layton actually, since CRITICAL THINKING IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
Awesome list.
I'd do Snake though.
You only considered the famous ones. Give IX the love! It had a big fat thing and a kid with no face!
Also: Yeah, scat cat. They've got soul-people, demons, elves, and I'm sure a few other things, on that list. Even though I know you probably meant things that didn't look human, as opposed to just 'not humans'. >.>
Unless you're all gay and genuinely attracted to men (thus, actually capable of providing a valid opinion on the matter), please respect the choices. Nominate a few if you wish, but don't mock what's already there.
Also, we've got some vary various tastes going on here. Link has that barely legal look, while Alucard is practically glam rock, and Siegfried is a giant hunk of muscle. I never realized what a diversity there is to choose from
Cool does not = attractive
Please don't crab that your favorite video game male doesn't appear on the list, it's not meant to personally offend you. And unless you're a woman, or a gay/bisexual man, this shouldn't matter to you. Nothing to see here, move along. Return to your homes, places of business, and Lara Croft fanboy chat rooms.
On a lighter note, a nomination for the honorable mentions:

who the heck wrote that list, are you serious?
I guess the whole gruff, silent type, with rugged good looks, that does stealth kills and fights against impossible odds, appeals to girls/women, who knew? Oh wait....
Meh, I prefer femenine looking guys myself >_>
...This pleases me
This also pleases me.
Aside for pyramid head being on there (wtf?) I agree with a lot of the list.
As long as Kurtis Trent never ends up on there. =3
I happen to like Atton Rand and Pyramid Head myself, but during my trek across the internet for evidence of sexy video game men, I learned that both had a bigger following than expected.
It's good to know you're not alone in your obsessions =)
GG maybe a more successful / worthwhile attempt can come next time without trying to kick off a flame response to appease you.
See how making a quick remark is one thing but then targeting someone else at the end is another?
Like I said, nice try, better luck with it in the future. It's a comment thread for discussion, not going, hmm its kinda dead oh lets pick up a battle of the sexes fight with this person and here's some bait.
I dont like baiting, you obviously don't like baiting and most other people don't like baiting either. So just avoid it, it's not like anything worthwhile comes of it anyway.
Now, I ask you this. Do you see ANY other females in this discussion board? Nope, so an old Cliche type joke, usually needing two people, at least that is how they happen in my neck of the woods, is kicked off and I get jumped for it? Wow...just wow. Also, you want to talk about baiting, look at what you did in your post, above my last one. I also realize that my intended joke may have come across as something entirely different, this is still know reason to jump me. So lets just drop it, shall we?
