The Good (and not so good) Cosplayers of Games Convention 2008

What video game convention would be complete without cosplayers?

Kotaku have compiled a list of the good (and not so good) cosplayers of Games Convention 2008 ...
Anywhere you combine video games and large masses of the general public you are bound to find the odd cosplayer, but today at the Games Convention in Leipzig I not only found cosplayers - I found their nest. Entering the transparent dome building I've dubbed the Hall of Justice I only encountered one or two costumed con-goers, but once I got to the very back of the building I discovered an almost never-ending stream of them coming in through the back door. Following the trail, I discovered a veritable cosplayer hive. Resident Evil, Naruto, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and many I was too dizzy to correctly identify, buzzing about their business until they spied the telltale glint of light off a camera lens, at which point they'd drop everything and go into their defensive poses. If I had to pick a winner, I'd say it was definitely the main character from The World Ends With You, though after snapping the pic of Link not posing I felt I had betrayed the cosplayer-camera guy trust and had to flee.

    Cosplayers scare the shit out of me. I wonder how pitiful your life has to be to make you want to dress up and pretend you're some fictional character?

        Nah, they get paid millions to do it. These guys just do it to be doing it.

      It's a hobby. They're just having fun, so I don't see the issue with it.

    I hate it when people dress up as opposite sex characters. It freaks me out. Hence the MegaMan Cosplay girl. Damn crossdressers

    I recognize most of them, there's even a few bleach characters there. Pretty nice.
