Cosplay is not merely an event. For many people it is a custom and  a fundamental part of conventions, and as many years have gone by Cosplay has gone from the few and the hardcore to a massive net of costume enthusiasts spreading across the globe. People with regular jobs and regular schedules take time from work and their daily activities, to dress up as their favorite character.

But that character is not merely a part of a video game, to them it is a form of identity, an identity which holds integrity, heroism, passion and virtues. For the uninitiated Cosplay is a shortened form of two words – costume and play. Keeping that in mind let’s take a look at the top cosplays of 2013.

Tali Zorah (Mass Effect)

You have to admit, this is the most realistic Tali Zorah cosplay you’ve ever seen. I love how the artist paid attention to each detail. The artist highlighted the eyebrows and cheekbones to replicate the game model of Tali. Overall this is a fantastic version of Tali Zorah and if it were a movie, this is exactly how I would have pictured the Quarian.

Cosplays are something that people do to showcase their creative talents and sometimes it is so good that you won’t notice the difference between games and real-life, but of course, if a movie is made these people will be the first candidates based on how accurate they look.  Acting skills are another matter though, who cares about that anyway. We’re kidding but obviously these cosplays are so good that they inspire and awe people who look at them.

We have a set of 25 such cosplays that we are sure, will elicit a solid response. Check them out and tell us if you like them or not in the comments section below.
