Halloween is just around the corner... have you decided what costume you're going to wear this year? Well no worries, as this KotH will give you plenty of great new ideas! We're going to take a look at some of the greatest video game-related costumes ever created, and your challenge will be to name which gaming character is being portrayed (worth 1 point) and also what series or game they are from (worth an additional point if you can get it).
