Games vs Clothes
Hello and welcome back to a semi-regular feature we like to call GamesRadar Photoshop Mash-up. Over the next few pages we've taken a bunch of game-based puns--in this instance, they're all about clothes--and used our crazy Photoshop skills to tinker with existing box art and make them a reality. We've even included a few words on our creative process too.
Sadly, some didn't make the cut. We didn't think the likes of Colin McRae: Shirt, Sleeping Clogs, or Heelman were quite as strong. If you like what we've done here, please let us know in the comments and we'll make more. For now, though, enjoy--and if you want to get a closer look at our masterful work, just click on the top right of the images to enlarge them.
Want more Photoshop Mash-ups? Here's our previous entry on Games vs Food.
TieoShock Infinite
Inspired by BioShock Infinite. We imagine the ending would have been made all the more brain-melting if we suddenly discovered that Booker had been wearing this hideous kipper-tie the whole time. No wonder all the residents of Columbia were looking at him funny...
Army of Shoe
Inspired by Army of Two. Ah, poor Alpha and Bravo--it's their second time in the Photoshop spotlight. This time, instead of tackling terrorism with spicy sausage product, the pair are saving the world with footwear.
Hatman
Inspired by Batman Arkham Asylum. This rakish vigilante prowls the streets of Gotham City at night, looking for poorly dressed criminals to dish out a damn good thrashing to. The police summon Hatman by broadcasting the silhouette of a stovepipe hat into the night sky.
Brogue Squadron
Inspired by Rogue Squadron. With the Rebels operating on a shoe-string (groan etc) budget, it's up to the brave heroes of Brogue Squadron to save the galaxy. And look jolly smart in the process.
Assassin's Tweed
Inspired by Assassin's Creed. The only way Ezio Auditore could be smoother than he already is (in Assassin's Creed II) would be if he was wearing a sharp, tweed suit. So, that's how we Photoshopped him.

Zone of Suspenders
Inspired by Zone of the Enders. Once you've seen this little Photoshop mash-up, it simply can't be unseen. Kojima's protagonists have always been odd, but this takes some beating.
Jacket and Daxter
Inspired by Jak and Daxter. Instead of getting into scrapes and having adventures, this version of Jak prefers to retire to the drawing room with his smoking jacket, to play some billiards.
Tights Into Dreams
Inspired by Nights Into Dreams. Bored with flying through rings, Nights decides to 'borrow' a pair of tights from Claris and embrace the feminine side of its personality.
Mr Espadriller
Inspired by Mr Driller. Who says that workmen can't look good while they're drilling? Mr Espadriller rocks a pair of delightful Espadrilles, carefully selected to coordinate with the rest of his ensemble.
BioSock
Inspired by BioShock. Yes, we know we've already done a BioShock entry, but this pun was too good to miss. Here we see the Big Daddy fetching some new socks for his little sister, fulfilling his role as protector and overbearing parent figure.
