The "man babes" of Survival Horror

Gothic Girl | July 13, 2008 | Blog | Playstation 2 Playstation 3 
A month ago, GI featured their favorite babes of survival horror. But now it's time for the girls to have some eye-candy to oggle. About time too! Here are the "man babes" of survival horror...

(go to source for full list)
We didn't want to do this, we really didn't. But after an email (or many) begging us to make one for the girls, we thought we would give it a try.

Name: Henry Townshend
Series: Silent Hill
Appearance: The Silent Hill series isn't known for its honorable and upstanding male protagonists. James Sunderland is a fine example of what a woman would never want in a man (if you don't know what we mean, you missed what he did to his wife).
Henry Townshend on the other hand is what we suspect women would call 'sweet'. He is dragged into the dark and disturbing world of Silent Hill yet his main goal is to help his poor injured neighbor Eileen. The two had never met before and, even though Henry had a voyeuristic tendency to watch Eileen through a crack in her bedroom wall, he showed genuine concern for the poor darling when he found her cut up in a dingy decrepid hospital. A man who goes out of his way to save a woman is a keeper, right? Eileen thought so.
With that tan, dark hair and light stubble, we guess he is a very handsome man too. A quick look on Photobucket showing gratuitous fanart confirms this.

Name: Kei Amakura
Series: Fatal Frame
Appearance: Kei makes his first appearance in Fatal Frame 3 as the uncle of FF2's protagonists Mio and Mayu. Another sweet man with a heart of gold, Kei enters a haunted mansion in search for his missing nieces. We've got to hand it to him, the man is determined!
If there is something we love more than women, it's Asian women. And Tecmo is known for its beautiful Asian women. We are sure the same applies to its men. While Kei might not appear to be a brawny fellow, don't let his looks fool you. His special ability in FF3 is his strength, which allows him to move heavy objects that other characters are unable to. Which means he would be good with lifting heavy furniture and whatnot. You like that, girls?

Name: Albert Wesker
Series: Resident Evil
Appearance: Ok, ok. We will admit that we have run out of 'man babe' protagonists that we think girls would find attractive. There are many other survival horrors out there but few with good looking male characters (We were surprised to discover this). So we decided it was best to end the list with the master of badassery and all things awesome: Albert Wesker.
Awesome sunglasses? Check. Badass attitude? Check. Evil voice? Well......Who was expecting a British voice to come from that mouth? Honestly?! It had us off guard for a second. Not that the voice is bad, but were we the only people expecting a sarcastic American drawl? If Americans had a stereotypical appearance, Wesker would be it. Whatever that means.
But anywho, we like the voice and Wekser himself is awesome.
If we were chicks, we'd do him. Wait..... would that count as necrophilia?

    ...

    ...Kyoya Suda's reason for being there is almost ridiculous.

    There's no mention of the fact that he literally summons fire from the skies to burn the whole village down and commit mass murder on the Shibito bastards, while listening to some rock music.

      Everyone loves a badass...even if he really is bad. Plus lots of girls like the bad boy

    Meh, Henry Townshend isn't my type (don't like the look, but at least he has a good heart, it seems) >_>

    Kei and Leon are strong possibles....

    The rest are 'meh' to me >_>

    Wesker's is sexy without a giant gaping hole in his chest.

    Lists like these never get a very warm reception from most gaming communities. Sad there's that double standard going.

    Big yay for Henry and Wesker making the cut. Leon? Hm, sure I'd hit that. Thanks for posting, Gothic Girl!

      Too bad Leon is clearly a homosexual.

        You *bleep*ing win...

        It's pretty clear Capcom needs some serious work in the Character development department. Leon is a blatant Mary Sue in every definition of the word.

          I can't believe he turned down Ada (I would've gone for her, were I into other women) for his communications chick. I wanted to slap him for that. Thank goodness he dropped Ashley's advances though... Christ, that kid was annoying.

        That's clearly the biggest issue for women who want to be with him.

      Hey RabidChinaGirl - Whatever happened to your planned weekly articles about sexiness in games and stuff? You only did the first one, so far as I know?

      I wanted to see more *tear*

        Sorry! The reception of those articles have been cold (or flaming hot), for the most part.

        I did sorta make one about Wesker, maybe last week? As for this week, I've been out of town! Thanks for asking, though, it's good to know not everyone hates my Sunday specials =)

          Stoopid double-standards, neh?

          Though, lol, I wouldn't be surprised if a number of people who play RPGs and games in general, have confused character genders (particularly with the Bishies, that is to say, 'pretty boys').

          Especially with J-RPGs, neh?

          Bet that is really confusing to some poor boys who wonder about their sexuality because they got a boner over an effeminate guy ;;

      No probs RabidChinaGirl. It's about time we had something to oggle. XD
      ... though judging by the list, we seem to get the short end of the stick when it comes to eye-candy in survival horror. >_>

      Henry = Yes.
      Wesker = OMG Hellz yes! (He's been my RE eye-candy since RE1. XD)
      Kei = Maybe.
      The others = Hellz no.

        Wow, we both got thumbs down'd for some reason. Guess people can't accept that gamer girls can ogle video game characters too.

          Insecure, maybe?

          Well, I added some additional thumbs to your comments, to offset the negative thumbs (though when I got to it, you already had +1 thumbs)....

          Some people are just nega-thumb happy >_>
