The Dark Side of Cosplay

Feature: Let's play dress-ups!
Cosplay, if anything, is great for keeping us entertained in those afternoons when we should really be writing about how many PSP's Sony sold in Japan last week, but instead are pointing at a bloke dressed as Mario's mangina. Not everyone, however, does cosplay right. These are the people that entertain us the most.

It's been a difficult job, but we've trekked the internet all afternoon searching for the most awful, embarrassing and disturbing videogame cosplayers who have every been caught on camera - and then stuck them in this article to successfully earn our wages.

Here they are then. Don't ever say videogame journalism is a job worth envying.

The culprits...



Almost life-size.



Wii-mote Man's older, unemployed brother.



Bless him, he's shy.



At least she didn't go as a Final Fantasy character...



And the whistle goes...



Either very good or VERY wrong.



It looked good before the rain started, promise.



Mega Man-gina!



Mooooooo-gal!



Never look at her the same way again...



WITH FIRE



Gangsta!



Pikachu was never supposed to be this scary.



Winner!



Hot.



Who's he going to hide from?



Not sure if we're allowed to take the mickey here...



Stick with Final Fantasy.


Thanks to NeoGAF and XXGamers for the pics.

*aching sides*

Oh yes CVG, that more than makes up for the amount of analyst stories, spelling mistakes and lack of letting me win compos.

*wipes tear* Ah... makes me laugh...

lmao - also like the comment by CVG

i like mega man - gina - he appears to be in some kind of pole dancing club. the girl also appears to have completely ignored him - like he goes there every night....
Posted by johnway
oh dear god. How can these people live with themselves dressing up like that?

hope they have a good sense of humour. Or be very thick skinned.

the plural of afternoon isn't "'afternoon's"...

the profession of journalism really has gone downhill... :?

Lol! Has Sakura been turned into a fat, bearded pedo for the next game or am i just missing something here?
Posted by Scouse Soldier

Posted by Dead Lemon
I'm not sure if I should be laughing or crying.

Gangsta Mario n' Toad was a highlight - as well as the chick next to Megaman. :wink:

The CVG comment saying "not sure if we're allowed to take the mickey here" cracked me up! Good work CVG.

The Tails one and the Moogle one are literally terryfying, like, nightmare inducing...

However, the guy dressed as Sailor Moon and the "lifesize" Xbox 1 are incredible. :D :D
