5. Hayden Tenno from Dark Sector
Hayden has been mutated by a biological compound, so he looks a little … different. Despite the infection, Hayden’s tousled hair and fit frame definitely qualify him as eye candy.

In a bit of a jam
To suck at an electronic endeavor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, of all places, is analogous to sucking at, say, making soup at cooking school.

Re: Girl's guide to 10 hottest videogame studs

This list is fantastic! I'm really glad to see a lot of male characters that deviate from the mainstream, but at the same time are so important to the gaming culture (I'm really happy to see Yuri on here).
The best touch is definately the Duke of Gravity. I work at a video game store where people can actually play video games in the store. We have Rock Band set up, and every single day (no exageration, you can't make this kind of stuff up) customers (everyone: kids, teenage girls, grown men...) fight over who gets to play as him. THEY HAVE RACES TO REACH HIS CHARACTER FIRST. I don't know why, but everyone is drawn to The Duke.

This is a terrible list. Obviously you don't play that many video games. What about the lead from Mass Effect. Or the lead from the Fable series. At any rate, these aren't very manly men studs, just a bunch of guys who look like girls.

Well, that's quite an insulting thing to say. Just because you don't agree with a list doesn't mean that you ought to be a jerk about it.
Mass Effect didn't come out in 2008 (it came out in 2007) and Fable's main character is customizable, therefore null and void. Not a lot of stunning "manly-man" male leads actually debuted in 2008, which is what this list is for (the ones that did debut in 2008). Otherwise, I'm sure Marcus Fenix, Snake, and Sephiroth would have made the list. 2008 was, debatably, the year of the "bishounen".
That aside, there's nothing wrong with androgny. It's in right now, and this list caters well to it.

REVIEW: A BOY AND HIS BLOB | October 27, 2009
A Boy and his Blob got its start as a 1989 Nintendo game designed by David Crane, who also designed Pitfall! . This 2009 remake features Miyazaki-inspired art and cel-shaded animation, giving the maps a storybook quality. Unfortunately, the story itself still leaves much to be desired; no further complexity has been layered onto the 1989 game’s backstory.
