60 Video Game Costume Ideas
This is going to be the most eclectic gallery of video game costumes you’ll see this year. It covers both male and female, inexpensive and time consuming, and there’s also few in there for your dog. And we mustn’t forget the sexy costumes! Hopefully this will give you a couple ideas if you’re still deciding what you should be for Halloween.
Let’s start off with one of the best video game inspired costumes I’ve seen, not counting cosplay. Travis Touchdown is the protagonist in a game more people need to play, No More Heroes. The detail he put in this costume is incredible. Check out his blog for more pictures and instructions on how he made the beam katana.
Up next is an equally impressive Isaac Clarke costume. Head over to his blog for more pictures.
Here is one kickass dad. He made his son a Megaman costume with working blaster. Click here to see how he made it.
Now this is what I’m talking about! This Sims costume is simply brilliant. I’m lazy, so any way to put as little effort into a costume as possible but still have it look true to the original is awesome in my book. Fun fact: I went to my sister’s video game themed birthday party as my Mii. Cheap and easy, just the way I like it.
Everybody loves Angry Birds so here’s a twofer — “adults” costume and kids costume.
Let’s keep the theme of good costumes going a bit longer with the Assassin’s Creed followed by Borderlands costumes.
Here we have a really cool 8-bit Metroid costume. It looks simple enough to do, just time consuming.
How about some Street Fighter costumes?
All hot girls should go as this or something similar.
While we’re on the subject of costumes hot chicks should wear, take a look at Ms. Pacman and Princess Peach!
Boo!
Why should girls have all the fun dressing up sexy? Here’s sexy Pikachu to help balance out the situation.
The next five costumes are for you nutty people that like to dress up your pets. If you’re going to put your dog through that misery you might as well make ‘em look cool.
Another guy after my heart. I love these clever yet cheap costumes!
You know your game is officially a hit when people start making Halloween costumes inspired by it.
Megaman should be left for little kids to dress up as.
Katamari Damacy is another fun game to get ideas from. Looks like the King of the Cosmos was giving the second guy more shit as usual.
Here’s an obscure one for all you hipsters. It’s Lucas Barton from the movie The Wizard. He’s so bad.
Is Pokemon more your thing? Here’s some excellent Halloween costumes for you.
Virginity! I choose you!
Drop it like it's hot, big Bertha.
Have a ridiculous amount of money that you’re trying to waste? Purchase this Master Chief costume for only $800.
Have absolutely no money? Then maybe this is more up your alley.
How about an old fashioned controller or arcade?
For the girl who thinks she's too fat to be a slutty NES controller.
Player 2 to her Player 1.
Get a load of his joystick!
For the douchebag who thinks the above costume is too nerdy.
The remainder of the good costumes.
It's bad enough when your spouse wants to match for Halloween, imagine your whole group of friends.

Damn girl, you packin' water in that sponge.
More like Sailor Moon Over My Hammy.
Misty from Pokemon. Do you suppose they call her Misty because of all the farts she be packin'?
Women! Please! Keep your panties on. You're embarassing yourselves.
Her final fantasy was to eat a turkey stuffed with double chocolate chip ice cream.
Looks like she's caught more than just pokeballs.
Meow that's a huge feline! This cat uses summer sausage as a scratching post.
I don't know where this is from but he/she is SEXY!
Start hitting the gym. As you can see you need the body of a Greek god to pull this off.
Now that you’ve seen all the possibilities, what are you going to be for Halloween?
