Awesome Costumes

Made with $2,000, two 42″ LCD TVs, and crapload of fingerprints, John and Reko’s iPhone Costumes actually work–they’ve modified their iPhone 3GS to allow live dual image output.

Putting the Halo in Halloween, Pete Mander’s Covenant Elite costume also puts anything we’ve ever fielded to shame; it features joystick-operated top and bottom mandibles.

Ezio may be raking in the dough this Fall, but Altair will be scoring candy on Halloween: this Assassin’s Creed gear is pricey but realistic, including the ultra-sweet extension knife.

We don’t normally feature costumes, but this Bioshock-inspired Big Daddy suit could easily be mistaken for the real thing: weighing 50-60 pounds, it sports an actual spinning drill.

Even if you’re a Super Smash Bros Brawl expert, Brawl will show your favorite characters in a completely new light: it’s real people in odd costumes and with even odder poses.

Putting Halloween costumes everywhere to shame, Casey Pugh’s Daft Punk helmet is made with a cheap motorcycle helmet and an animated, Arduino-powered 16×5 LED matrix.

We admit that cosplay often ranks high on our dork-o-meter. However, many of these 31 video game costumes are amazing, from a Link lookalike to a drop-dead sexy Ivy Valentine.
