8 Manliest Characters In Gaming History

By Edward Owen /

7. Chuck Greene €“ Dead Rising 2

Chuck Greene is the embodiment of masculinity, combining many single manly activities to create a glorious unified whole. During his sojourn in a zombie-rife Fortune City he shows himself to be a loving father, a creative purveyor of glorious violence, an expert in DIY and a goddamned hero all at the same time. Also, he€™s a former motocross champion and has the manliest jaw-line you€™re ever likely to see. The fact of the matter is that even in the videogame world, where manly characters are ten-a-penny, there€™s something uniquely awesome about twirling through crowds of the undead with a paddle-chainsaw you knocked together with duct tape. Armed with a heroic quest to restore his wrongly-tarnished name, Greene oozes righteous fury, and nothing makes that more apparent than when he combines knives, boxing gloves and an insatiable bloodlust to create a whirling dervish of pain. Even if you choose to dress him up in a sundress or BDSM outfit, nothing can obscure Chuck€™s manly crusades in which he kicks ass, takes names and saves various idiots on and around the strip. The fact he€™s mainly doing it to keep his little girl alive is the icing on the cake.
