PAX 2010: A taste of the cosplay
23
What's up now, Comic-Con? PAX really brought it this year in terms of cosplay. There were street fighters, Spartans, zombies playing Rock Band and quite possibly the best Tali and Garrus we've ever seen (above). Hit up the gallery below and check 'em all out!

Hmm, PAX cosplay leaves a little something to be desired when compared to other shows...

Yeah, it's not nearly as cosplay-centric as other shows. Though I will say there were definitely some great ones that weren't in this gallery. Two that spring to mind: that Crimson Viper up there in the SF4 group pic spent most of her time with a friend in a really dead-on Juri costume. And one of the more popular ones was a Taokaka from BlazBlue who stayed completely in character for the WHOLE SHOW.
I have to admit I got a little nerd-crush on both of them.

hah, I love how the Shepard was so mediocre that he wasn't even mentioned despite being in the same photos.

@Puertoricarious I think that's one of the best shepard's I've seen, at least when it comes to the armor. Although, maybe he could have worn a helmet : /

That Garrus is awesome, and I would marry that Tali cosplayer if I could.

The guy went to an event like that with nothing but a mask and his heart print skivvies.

Its my two favourite squad members. What are they doing with that fake commander Shepard. My Shepard doesn't look like that!

PAX East had Ghostbusters. And the real Mario Bros were there.

@AkumaFTW - Don't forget the Enforcer in real armor. And Sackboy, Pyramid Head, and a couple of great Bayonettas.
The Harley Quinn cosplayer looks like the same one from PAX East, incidentally.

Wow, they werent kidding on the podcast, that really is an astounding Garrus costume. It might make me an ass, but i cant help but notice with such a fantastic job of everything else that he left the armor plating pretty disproportional, still awesome though

@TheDarkWayne also, i cant tell what the two girls in the third picture are supposed to be. Stylized, ladyfied vault boys?

Garrus and tali were great but fat ryu is hilarious

That is the ugliest little sister I've ever seen!!! Maybe if they looked like that in the game it would be a much easier decision on whether to harvest them or not...

Dunno why, but the guy with the LEGO head made me bust out laughing.

Were the Rock Band zombies singing "Zombies on My Lawn"?

THAT RYU IS A SPAH!

When I saw Tali and Garrus at the con, I walked right up to them and said "You guys win. YOU WIN PAX." They actually seemed pretty flattered.
Also, to those of you crushin' on Tali, she unfortunately said she and fake-Shephard are married. :(
