Some pretty awesome cosplay of Raiden spotted over at Kotaku.
Still haven't played MGS4 long enough to get to Raiden yet.

    Quite honestly... If Raiden was a girl, I'd be playing Metal Gear Solid 2. X3

    But since this is Metal Gear Solid 4 related, I think the helmet and look is bloody brilliant. Hair and eyes too. Makes me want to meet her just to say how awesome it looked. But that is me. :3

    I love this game. It would seem that the total cutscenes are almost as long as the game if not longer. I played through it a couple of time. Still trying to woirk up the nerve to play the solid snake difficulty.

    Sure is a cool cosplay. I want one.
