So I'm going to a local festival this summer, and the fancy dress theme is "video games." I don't really play many myself ( save Diablo and Guildwars which I play rarely) so I'm not really sure what to go as. Loads of people will be going as the generic mario and friends, pacman, angry birds and lara croft ( not that a guy can pull the latter off.)

I have about £30 in my bank account, but I will have a couple of weeks free doing sod all in school after exams that I can make a costume in. I'm reasonably good at art ect, but getting the materials might be hard. Has anyone got any ideas for male video game costumes that I could make/ buy cheaply?
