Guys of E3

E3, the big Video Game expo, has come and gone.  Today's post features guys from some of the games featured at the show.

Link is back in the upcoming game The Legend of Zelda:  Skyward Sword.  Here is some artwork of him for this game:

Assassins' Creed is back and this time, there's multiplayer in the upcoming Assassins' Creed:  Brotherhood:

Starkiller, the main character of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, returns for the upcoming sequel:

Here is a beautiful piece of artwork from the next Dungeon Siege game.  However, fair warning...this is the original file and it's over 9MB!

Next up, two male heroes from the upcoming Golden Sun game for DS:

Here's the hero of the upcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow:

Kid Icarus is back in a new game for the Nintendo 3DS:

Here's the main hero (paired with his female companion) from the next Lufia game:

How realistic-looking have video game guys become?  Well, check out this screencap from the next WWE Smackdown vs. Raw game:

Finally, the trailer for Resident Evil Revelations for the Nintendo 3DS featuring Resident Evil hottie Chris Redfield times two:

Misfits #1

Within my archive of pics I post on HFG, there are some that are good but don't make it to the site.  Usually, they are either new/extra pics from something I've already posted about or pics from something that I don't have much art from.  When I try to figure out what to post next, I often pass over these pics.  Now, I've decided that it's time to give these "misfits" their due.

First up, is some more lovely artwork from Night Head Genesis.  I think this artwork is by You Higuri but I'm not entirely sure.  It's a shame there isn't that much artwork for this manga/anime out there.

These next pics are screenshots from a hentai game called Lime-iro Senkitan.  Sometimes, there are attractive guys where you least expect them.

The next pic is from the anime Gungrave and I think it's the only pic I have from that show.

When I searched for Kyle Rayner pics for All-Request Week, I found some good pics of other lanterns.  Here's one pic each of John Stewart and Alan Scott.

And now a random hottie from Battle Chasers:

These two guys are from the online version of the awesomely underrated game Shenmue.

 

Here's a piece of  particularly sultry artwork from the Princess Princess anime I'm surprised I didn't post.

Finally, here is a gorgeous piece of Castlevania artwork by manga artist Takeshi Obata, best known for providing the art for Hikaru no Go and Death Note.

 

I hope you enjoyed this mix of misfits.  Sometime in the future, I'll post another set.
