- sweeneyowns, on 09/01/2008, -5/+85are you serious? Gangsters suits from scarface? lame! if this guy wasn't such a tool for maxim he would have replaced that with the suits the turks wore in ff7.
- develdevil, on 09/01/2008, -0/+69I'm playing Crysis and I gotta say the nanosuit is pretty badass. At least you get to interact with it.
- happytedium, on 09/01/2008, -2/+52Well, at least he had the HEV.
- travisMarc, on 09/01/2008, -1/+48dugg for the raccoon suit and then buried 3 times for not having the frog suit, sock, and being on 14 pages...
- Rally603, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3813. Stealthy Wet Suit
Worn By: Sam Fisher (Tom Clancy´s Splinter Cell)
This scandalously skintight number is perfect for someone who wants his taste level to shout "I´m here" but his stealth level to say "you can´t see me until I snap your neck." Using this fall´s fabric du jour—handcrafted Kevlar—you´ll be shrugging off bullets with a confident air. Accessorize with thermal-, night-, and zoom-goggles and a microphone and you´ll be the eyes, ears, and envy of all your friends!
12. MJOLNIR Mark VI
Worn By: Master Chief (Halo 2 & 3)
Gone are the days of tired old military uniforms (they ain´t called "fatigues" for nothing!), because the UN Space Command is blasting off into the unchartered reaches of couture space. The Mark VI is quite a number, allowing lead model Master Chief to strut faster, jump higher, and regenerate that oh-so-fashionable outer layer of shield faster than you can say, "I´ve got to have that!" To top it off, the suit automatically injects biofoam to heal your wounds, so no more trips to the dry cleaners with pesky bloodstains!
11. CMC-Powered Combat Suit
Worn By: Terran Marines (StarCraft)
Worried you don´t have the height to compete on the runway? Well step aside, Tyson, because the CMC-Powered Combat Suit is turning the petite into powerhouses. Each suit adds more than a foot to your height, and is immune to small-arms fire (which is perfect for backstage catfights!). And since form must follow function, the CMC pumps narcotics into your bloodstream, which is perfect for the man with a burning need but a full calendar.
10. Treasure Suit
Worn By: Kid Icarus (Kid Icarus)
If this season has a motto, it´s "Reach for the Stars," and this sporty little ensemble is just the ticket. With a pair of wings stitched from the finest organic fabrics, you´ll be swooping by Reapers in no time. Hey, we can´t guarantee you won´t meet the God of Poverty, but isn´t it always better to look like a million dollars than to have a million dollars?
9. The Darkness
Worn By: Jackie Estacado (The Darkness)
Oscar De La Renta. Marc Jacobs. Michael Kors. Step aside, boys, because there´s a hot new designer rocking our world: Satan. Bringing eel-like tentacles and a feeling of invincibility fueled by the power of darkness and evil to men´s evening wear, the Forces of the Unholy (Satan´s label) is officially putting the tuxedo on notice.
8. Power Suits
Worn By: Gangsters (Scarface, The Godfather)
There´s innovation, and then there´s the timeless classic. A little pinstripe and a little lapel action and you are ready for business. Just be sure to avoid the dreaded "dull" word by jazzing it up with a few must-have accessories: Guns. Toadies. And a mountain of cocaine.
7. Tanooki Suit
Worn By: Mario (Super Mario Bros. 3)
Animal skins may be a social faux pas, but we defy anyone to deny Mario´s right to take the raccoon out of the garbage-raiding business and onto the radar of the fashion elite. Slimming stripes, an elegant weave, and the ability to turn invincible (a new addition to this year´s line) will have you wondering just how the plumbing business got so damn sexy!
6. Octocamo
Worn By: Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid 4)
What do you get for the man who has everything? A suit that, for all intents and purposes, makes him a new man! This snug-fitting number is the new star of the men´s sportswear circuit. And the reason is this: It changes texture depending on what you´re leaning up against—so never fear that you will ever be caught wearing last year´s fabric ever again. An Octocamo mask (available from select retailers) will also change your face, so that ´70s ´stache can return from whence it came!
5. T-51b Power Armor
Brotherhood of Steel (Fallout series)
Few things are worse than calling yourself "sexy" only to deliver flannel and yawns. The same is true of calling yourself "power" and not making it pop like a bottle of Moet. Luckily, the T-5lb makes it work, honey. A MicroFusion energy pack generates 60 kilowatts, while the suit itself is capable of absorbing 2,500 Joules of energy. If you need to host a function and power its lighting, then this is your new go-to after-work ensemble.
4. Coil Suit
Worn By: Kurt Hectic (MDK)
If you´re boring, you are last year, so let´s applaud a bold fashion choice that brings a little fun to the fall look: The Coil Suit´s phallic helmet is enough of a double entendre to raise the hackles of even the most jaded partygoer, but the fact that it doubles as a sniper rifle with a 100-times zoom means you can pick off that rogue assassin and go right back to being the center of attention in the time it takes the room to go, "Doesn´t that look like…?"
3. HEV Mark IV
Worn By: Gordon Freeman (Half-Life)
When people say, "I could live in these clothes," the HEV Mark IV´s bespectacled cover boy knows exactly what they mean. With high-impact armor, automatic medical systems, atmospheric containment sensors, and state-of-the-art wicking fabric to keep the dry areas dry, you can go from battling head crabs to battling boardrooms in one easy step.
2. Ultra-High-Tech Indestructible Super Space Cyber Suit
Worn By: Earthworm Jim (Earthworm Jim)
At its best, fashion can turn even an ugly duckling into a soaring swan, so is it any wonder that this season´s Cyber Suit is making even an earthworm turn heads? And speaking of prêt-à-porter—this number bonds to the host´s body, eliminating the need for tailors and costly fittings. It even boasts a "Pocket Rocket" that ensures you´ll be the toast of the party while your friends are still tied up hailing taxis.
1. Varia Power Suit
Worn By: Samus Aran (Metroid)
Power suits may make the man, they can also do wonders for the woman. As Samus Aran hot-steps down the runway, pay close attention to the fine details of her ensemble: a scan visor (simply a must after Alexander McQueen´s Milan show last winter), a power beam (fueled by trendy renewable resources), missiles, a grapple beam, and, of course, the showstopping hand cannon. The shoulder pads are a jaunty nod to the ´80s, which is fitting since this number screams, "Girls just want to have fun!" - whiteguysamurai, on 09/02/2008, -1/+36Maxim: the ***** playboy.
- snareguy17, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2713 Outfits We Found In Video Games In The Last 20 Years
- Shruthi99, on 09/02/2008, -11/+38***** THE RIAA
- christopheles, on 09/01/2008, -0/+21It's a mythical Japanese creature resembling a raccoon but with massive testicles. I ***** you not.
- aznhomig, on 09/02/2008, -0/+21ANOTHER multi-page list with pages equaling the number of list entries?
Maxim sure loves to beat the dead horse. Or they're desperate for pageviews. Or both. - OfNumbers, on 09/02/2008, -0/+17Nice one page *****.
- KingHarvest00, on 09/02/2008, -0/+13I think these were the first 13 suits that popped into his head.
- whoreable, on 09/01/2008, -2/+15The Darkness - Worn by: Charlie Murphy
But seriously, no nanosuit? Maxim should stick to taking pictures of scantily clad starlets. - gwycliff, on 09/02/2008, -1/+12buried for lack of homage to megaman
- internalEr0r, on 09/02/2008, -2/+12What about the Nano suit from crysis that should be dead obvious, I mean sure the powersupply for it sucks, but with some tweaks...
- DigitalHippie73, on 09/02/2008, -2/+11What the *****, does there really have to be a list of every trivial element in video games?
- SuburbianMike, on 09/02/2008, -1/+10Where is the love for Mega Man???
- LucasVB, on 09/02/2008, -0/+8Hey, at least they mentioned the Coil Suit! People usually forget how awesome MDK was...
- gavintlgold, on 09/02/2008, -0/+8Major ... Lacerations .... Detected.
- wrathofg0d, on 09/02/2008, -1/+8Hardcore Fallout fans are going to cry over them using the power suit from a terrible spin-off game.
Having the Starcraft Terran Marine powersuit and not the Dawn of War Space Marine powersuit is kind of lame. - mattwalton56, on 09/02/2008, -4/+10http://tinyurl.com/6gnkl8
Master Chief = Win. - chaosblade77, on 09/02/2008, -0/+6http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanooki
- medfreak, on 09/02/2008, -2/+8Wtf... the most badass suit is hands down the Crysis Nano-suit... ***** Maxim!
- Natetendo83, on 09/02/2008, -0/+6wow why didn't I come across this thread BEFORE going through 13 pages of crap?
- Dino451, on 09/02/2008, -0/+5bury for Maxim. Dugg for Earthworm JIm
- ortizdidier, on 09/01/2008, -1/+6Timeshift anyone?
- NightOwl4, on 09/02/2008, -4/+9Master Chief was not given enough respect in this....
- D3koy, on 09/02/2008, -1/+5Someone should amend the title to include "in no particular order"...
- MercFox1, on 09/02/2008, -3/+7Dugg for:
Mjolnir armor, HEV suit, Varia suit, Earthworm Jim suit, and Fallout suit (it does look badass).
Buried for:
No Crysis nanosuit, Tanooki suit, Sam Fisher's suit (Sam Fisher is the reason Sam Fisher is fantastic, not his stupid suit), that Coil suit, the gangster suits, the Treasure suit, nothing from Dawn of War (No XV-22 Battlesuit or XV-8 Crisis armor? You suck at gaming.), and 14 pages.
So, by scoring, we need to take 3 Diggs away... - inactive, on 09/01/2008, -1/+5No Gantz love?
- Metasquares, on 09/02/2008, -1/+5What about the Power Glove?
It's so bad. - TheJokerV, on 09/02/2008, -1/+4What about the big daddy suit?
- Donwangugi, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3For the love of God when will some of these guys learn something about flash? I hate having to go to different web pages to see a slide show, or list. I am looking at you Forbes!!!!
- dralezero, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3I love that game. Replied it multiple times in a row.
- bulgingbritches, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3"Win" for sure. Anytime you can jump out of an aircraft almost in orbit and survive the fall, sans parachute, that is the suit I want.
- inactive, on 09/02/2008, -0/+3He's not, according to official literature and all
- jeflin, on 09/02/2008, -1/+4HEV gets a digg, a distant second for the rest.
- vondrak, on 09/01/2008, -0/+2Actually that's the tanooki suit. What exactly a tanooki is I don't know.
- SumguyTwentyOne, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2He was referring to Fallout 3.
- somedirtbag, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Warning... User... Death... Imminent...
- Phil1ip123, on 09/02/2008, -1/+3Somehow, I'd feel more comfortable going into battle with the CMC-Powered Combat Suit, than in Tony Montana's power suit.
- cparsons, on 09/02/2008, -1/+3couldn't agree more. i don't even bother with multiple pages anymore.
- bigbill780, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Am I the only person who remembers Mega Man?
- Her3t1k, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2No cyborg ninja exoskeleton? I mean I know they had octocamo, and it hardly qualifies for a powersuit, but it was definitely more qualified than many on the list. Of course like all of the other fanboys above me, this is my opinion and nobody really cares.
- FTLJohnson, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2I'm surprised he didn't include the swimsuits worn in DOA: Extreme Beach Volleyball.... because ya know... it's Maxim, and since LAME was totally and obviously not off limits... why not? I'm sure if the author reads this comment, he'll be kicking himself for a missed opportunity to include some gratuitous pics of well rendered breasts.
- Rakuseki, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Technically not a power suit either, given that Megaman is a robot.
- CelloZach, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2If you were a real hardcore Fallout fan and also a video gamer, you would recognize that a game in the same format (top down, hexagonal-grid turn-based) as Fallout 2 couldn't be made anymore and still be sellable.
That being said, I'm SURPRISED AND HAPPY that another in the series is being made. I'm also SURPRISED AND HAPPY that power armor showed up on this list. - identityxcrysis, on 09/02/2008, -1/+3The tanooki suit pwns
But uh
how about the suits from Shogo? THOSE were bitchin' - reticulate, on 09/02/2008, -0/+2Needs more 40K Space Marine armour, though I guess the CMC version qualifies since it's an unapologetic rip off. Further, this article sucks for suggesting Earthworm Jim has anything over Gordon Freeman or the Brotherhood of Steel.
Meh. - AcidRapture, on 09/02/2008, -2/+4Uhhhhh, what about Crysis nano suit bitch?
