This is how I would go about it if it was my model.

Just cleaned it up a bit really. I know that having all quads in a game environment isnt a requirement but if your planning on animating and/or sculpting out a normal map reducing the tris helps you out as they can possibly be a bit "lumpy" when sculpting.
