The Cosplayers of PAX Prime (2011)
PAX Prime is one of the most exciting community-centered events of the gaming world. You can find everything from the AAA titles to awesome indie games you may never have heard of (SpyParty, anyone?)
Even better? Much of the gamer-nerd community like to dress up as their favorite characters. We saw a ton of fantastically made costumes that have clearly been worked on for months. We scoured the showfloor to get you some of the best of the best that we saw while in Seattle. Oh, and don't forget about our incoming preview coverage of all the awesome games we got to play.
