We love how cosplay can bring characters from gaming to life, and we know you'll love the amazing outfits in the Greatest Game Cosplay Ever.

If these galleries of awesome costumes and jaw-dropping cosplay haven't convinced you to try cosplaying as a hobby, then we don't know what will. There's just something so awe-inspiring about seeing the process of taking a character, buying materials, crafting for days on end and then creating a real-life version of said character through props, costuming and make-up. Peep the gallery above for some more eye-catching costumes and perhaps some inspiration for your own outfits.
