There was some great stuff — a respectable Alice in the American McGee style, a quartet of very attractive BlazBlue fans, and one Link and Zelda pair that were just precious — and there were plenty of random dudes in Pikachu costumes. Maybe it was all just a little less memorable than Gamescom 2010 — remember those two lady Links? — or maybe Gamescom needs to be more like Tokyo Game Show and dedicate some space to its cosplayers.
Somewhere where they needn’t pose amidst the trash at least or the crowds on a smoke break. See what we saw, cosplay-wise, at Gamescom today in the gallery above.

Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 12:02 PMFor some reason (could it be skin?) I prefer Japanese Cosplay, but some of these are pretty good. Although I pity the foo who wants to be Duke Nukem.

Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 12:02 PMHow to cosplay the easy way.
Buy Elf Ears.
Wear them plus dress
Now your cosplaying.
Steve
Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 4:53 PMPretty much. The generic elf ears on a pretty girl is some of the laziest cosplay.

Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 5:26 PMI’d prefer the hot girl, with elf ears, and no dress…

Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 2:30 PMKinda laughing at all the chubby female links, no matter how good the clothes, it can’t mask the fact your clearly NOT a badass dude.

Monday, August 22, 2011 at 3:06 PMI’d never have said Link was badass by any stretch of the imagination.
Even ‘Dude’ is still in the maybe box with that guy.

Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 3:12 PMHands down the best one is the Beyond Good and Evil chick, Followed by American McGee’s Alice, and then the Female Barbarian…though that helm looks bigger than her chest plate

Cav
Monday, August 22, 2011 at 7:36 PMAnother ‘thing’ giving gamers a bad name is not proof reading posts. That should read LITTER and trash. Thank god I don’t cosplay.

Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 12:39 AMthe disgusting Joker/Harley/Catwoman one has a DEADPOOL in the background… why no pictures of the DEADPOOL???
Oh, right. No tits or anime connection.
We need a Lady Deadpool, it seems.

Sunday, April 15, 2012 at 11:13 PMI like them all! You guys try to make a costume, and try to pull off some character with your looks, they di their best on those costumes, and they can’t help if they doesn’t have the face of the character.
