From helmets to hoodies, there are many pieces of headwear that complete many recognizable costumes in video games. Whether it be Mario's red hat or Master Chief's Spartan helmet, they are in games to spice up the characters, and the following are some of the best head accesories in the business. Glasses, bandanas and the like are what I'm looking for, so you won't find any crazy hairdues here (we'll save that for another list ;) ). Also, please don't be a whiny baby of your favourite doesn't make it, it's just a list.

Best pair of Glasses: Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes)

Sure, Wesker's dark shades are badass, and Gordan Freeman's specs have a mix of smarts and ass kicking potential,but their face windows just seem...plain. However, plain is no way to describe Mr. Touchdown, or No More Heroes for that matter. Incredibly zanny, Travis's yellow tinted sunglasses shows that he doesn't give a flying fish what anyone thinks of him. And if anyone objects, they can answer to his lightsaber.

Best Bandana: Solid Snake (Metal Gear series)

Seriously, when you think bandana, who else do you think but Snake? Before Marcus Fenix donned his head cloth, there was Solid Snake bearing his awesome bandana as he snuck his way around military facilities and weapons factories. You never see him without it, even in the final showdown against his brother Liquid. I know Ryu from Street Fighter is also a worthy contender for best bandana, but he's not as iconic for his head band as he is for...well...HADOKEN!

Best Headphones: Neku Sakuraba (The World Ends With You)

I honestly couldn't think of any other character that rocks the 'phones more than Neku (then again, I couldn't think of ANY other character that wears headphones period). Neku wears these purple ear-blasters throughout his adventures in the Underground as he tries to win back his right to live. Not only are they stylish, but they also represent Neku's separation from the world and his distant nature towards others. Yay symbolism!

Best Hood: Altair (Assassin's Creed)

Altair's mysterious, sneaky attitude is perfect hoodie material. He actually uses his white hood to help blend in with the crowd, making it one of the more useful assesories on this list. Never has tilting your head down ever been so enticing since this crusader made his way onto the video game scene. Now let's just hope that his great ancestor Ezzio can pull off the same look.

Best Helmet: Captain Falcon (F-Zero series)

Holy...Crap. Don't look at the picture too long, or else you'll overload on cool (it can happen). Captain Falcon's blazing red racing helmet pretty much blows any competition off the track, whether it be the intimidating Brotherhood of Steel power helmet or Olimar's bubble head. The gold falcon emblazoned onto the front is enough to strike fear into the hearts of racers and people around the great captain. Women want him. Men wish to be him. And everybody loves the helmet.

Best mask: Goron Mask (Majora's Mask)

You all thought Link's pointy hat was going to make it somewhere on this list, didn't you? Well you're wrong, mostly. In the sequel to Ocarina of Time, Link had an ossortment of mask's that he could wear on his adventure, so it's no wonder one of them made it on here. My personal favourite would be the Goron mask because it turned you into the coolest race this side of Hyrule. Not only that, but you also had the ability to turn into a ROLLING BALL OF SPIKEY DEATH!

Best Hat: Metal Cap (Mario 64)

There are a lot of different power ups in the Mario universe. Some can make you fly, others will throw fireballs out of your fists. One in particular turns you into a walking T-1000 from Terminator 2. Ya, I think we have our winner. This cap you were very lucky to come across in Mario 64 encased you in metal, allowing for underwater travel and causing heart atacks in Goombas across the mushroom kingdom. Honestly, if you saw this coming towards you, I bet you wouldn't want to be around either.

That's it! Thanks for sticking around, and I'll see you on my next entry!

What, you want more? You say there's more pieces of headwear? Like what?

Earrings? Umm...okay. How about...

Best Earrings: Rachel (Ninja Gaiden series)

Yes, those are definately some nice...earrings.
