8 Manliest Characters In Gaming History

2. Tony Montana €“ Scarface: The World Is Yours

Tony Montana Powered by cocaine and insane, gut-punching violence, Tony stands unique on this list as the only man who runs entirely on testicular fortitude. Really, I€™m not kidding. Scarface: The World Is Yours starts on an insane premise €“ what if Tony Montana survived the carnage that was his assassination €“ and dials everything up to 11 from there. I don€™t know of another game in which the main character is powered by his €˜balls,€™ and it€™s this unique premise which sets Tony aside as a granite-chewing totem of complete and utter manliness. What makes it even more ridiculous is the way you accrue more €˜balls€™ €“namely, by shooting lesser men in the down-belows and uttering insanely creative swears while you do it. It€™s for this reason alone that Tony belongs on this list €“ he cuts through 80s Miami like a maelstrom of profanity, rebuilding his lost empire with nothing but sheer unparalleled awesomeness. That you get to do this while wearing pimpingly glorious 80s threads makes matters all the better. He also receives extra bonus points by refusing to kill civilians, preferring to save his chainsaw-wielding bloodlust for druglord scumbags. Bravo, Mr Montana, bravo indeed.
