Video Game Characters and their Halloween Costumes

 

Nathan Drake – Indiana Jones
 


Just add a signature hat and a whip and it’s basically the same character. Honestly this isn’t much of a stretch. Here we have two people who are masters of adventure. Both seek out artifacts from exotic lands and temples. Both are wisecrackers who are generally on the run from some pretty nasty guys with an almost limitless amount of thugs. It’s just a sure thing.

Marcus Fenix – Football Linebacker



Marcus is just so massive that there really isn’t much else he can be that won’t look out of place. With a neck that’s as thick as a tree trunk though it might be difficult to get a helmet on that hard head of his. Combine that with a vocabulary that you would expect of a stereotypical jock and the ability to move quickly in what can only be about 100lbs of armor, and you have a perfect costume.

Luigi – Mario
 



If there’s one thing Luigi would want to be more than anything it would be Mario. Always stuck in the shadow of his brother, Luigi has rarely gotten the spotlight. The only time he’s really gotten to do anything special is look for Mario and capture ghosts. The costume would be simple enough for him.  Just dye his outfit and stuff some padding in there and he’s all set to go. Maybe he’ll get lucky and his Princess won’t be in another castle.

Master Chief – Doom Guy
 


Green space armor? Check. Never seeing his face? Check.  Hero and savior battling endless hordes basically on his own? Check. This is another pretty simple costume jump. All he’d really need is a bit less armor and he’s set to go. Just imagine if Master Chief could wield something like the BFG 9000.

Sonic – Himself ten years ago



Sonic is just a bit too arrogant to be comfortable impersonating anyone else. Now that he’s lost his former glory though it would make all too much sense for him to go back to his classic style. Maybe he’ll get a bit of pity attention for those who are nostalgic. All he needs is a haircut and some old shoes.

---

Samus – Megaman



Samus certainly gets her way around the universe. She actually has a lot in common with Megaman as well. They both seek out boss characters to battle. Both have to clear their way through endless hordes of enemies. Both have a blaster for an arm. Both shoot multiple types of objects out of the same blaster cannon even though that logically just doesn’t seem feasible. All Samus needs do is paint her armor blue and make a few adjustments to her armor style.

Pyramid Head – Clown



We all know Pyramid Head is one scary guy. It’s almost hard to imagine anything that would make him scarier. Anything that is…except clowns. Clowns are already terrifying enough for most people. Combine Pyramid Head’s latent disturbing figure and add a giant Red Nose to the tip of his well Pyramid Head and you’ll be spending your Halloween wondering what the heck that is approaching you from the darkness. Trick or Treating in Silent Hill has to be some kind of level of hell.

GLaDOS – Companion Cube



GLaDOS lives for one purpose and one purpose only. Screwing with your head. She is a cruel mistress that will work her way into your heart if only to manipulate you to her own goals with promises of cake.  What better way to utterly torture someone than betray their trust and mock the destruction of their beloved in her guise of the precious companion cube. Simple enough to just place up some walls around her to mimic the cube. The loving and always caring cube.

---

Lara Croft – Jessica Rabbit



Who better for the bustiest gal in the gaming world to become than the bustiest gal in the animated world? It would take some pretty big feet to fill Jessica Rabbit’s shoes, but something tells me Lara’s got big enough feet to accomplish the task. Lara’s already got that little red dress. All she would need is a few alterations and some hair dye.

---

Snake – Snake Plisken



Sure, Snake’s already taken on the disguise of Plisken before, but that was in name only. Why not go one step forward and finalize the look. He’s already got the name, the eyepatch (just on the wrong side), the weaponry, and the attitude. All he needs now is a black tank top and he’s ready to save New York.

---

Zelda – Link



Poor Zelda has always taken the backseat to Link’s adventures. We’ve seen how much she wants to be more involved in the action with her archery skills, disguising herself as Shiek, and her ill-fated adventure on the CD-I. All she’d need to do is borrow a little tunic, hat, shield, and sword. Most of these she can buy at her local shop. Plus I think we’d all much rather see her legs in the short little tunic than Link’s.

---

Cortana – Night Elf



It’s fairly difficult for a blue lady to be anything else except for another blue lady. Plus you consider the fact that since Cortana is purely digital and basically trapped in Master Chief’s armor you would assume she’s gotta get bored. What else would there be to do in the future than play MMO’s, and if things keep going as they are WoW will still exist. So being a fan it’s only natural to assume she’d guise herself as her favorite blue ladies.

---

Princess Peach – Dominatrix



I’m sorry, but Princess Peach is a tease. “I’m sorry Mario, our Princess is in another castle.” Yeah. I bet she is, and I bet she’s just laughing her butt off watching Mario die over and over in his quest to save her. Really. You think after the first kidnapping by Bowser she would just avoid him, but she’s perfectly content living right next to Koopa Kingdom. She lets herself get kidnapped just to torture Mario. She’d be perfectly comfortable in the role of an evil dominatrix. For all we know she’s got all that leather under the frilly dress.

---

Gordon Freeman – Gregory House



Honestly this works more for his uncanny resemblance than anything else. They are both extremely talented Doctors who seem to have really poor social skills, (Gordon just can’t seem to talk to anyone).  They are still revered by those around them. An easy workaround for Gordon and I’m sure he’d be quite happy to get out of his biohazard suit and step into a nice comfortable suit instead.
