2009 MCM Expo - Image 1The London MCM Expo accomplished what it set out to do this year, which was to set a new world record for most video game cosplayers under one roof. The recently-concluded Movie Comic Expo at the ExCel Center made its gaming side headline-worthy once again, and this one is literally heading for the books.

Gathering an impressive 376 cosplayers, this year's event bested its own record of 337 which was set just last October during the London Games Festival. It wasn't the big winning margin that they were hoping for, but hey, 39 more means they're on the right  track. Besides, the first one ever set was only a mere 80, and that was in March last year.
