Valentine’s Day is a holiday meant for lovers. Believe it or not, some lovers are gamers. Sadly we were unable to find any Valentines for our favorite games to pass out to all of our classmates like we did back in the day.

When we were in grade school, everyone made a shoebox or something similar with a mail slot, designed however we wanted. Then you would bring enough valentines to for everyone and leave them in each of those mailboxes. We remember the classics we got like GI Joe, Barbie, Ninja Turtles, and even Super Mario Brothers.

Now for those that couldn’t find videogame inspired valentines (or didn’t look like us) we decided to make a dozen from our favorite games that we could send to our friends or “that special someone.” For the record our shoebox mailbox is built out of an old original Xbox system, so we should be able to hold a few thousand.

Enjoy these, and let us know if you have any ideas for others… and feel free to send us some valentines too (hint, hint). Which is your favorite?

Valentines in Order

1. Guitar Hero – Female Rocker
2. Left 4 Dead – Zombie
3. Mortal Kombat – Scorpion
4. Pokemon – Pikachu
5. Sonic the Hedgehog
6. Resident Evil – Jill Valentine
7. Gears of War – Cole Train
8. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas – Female (Hot Coffee)
9. Super Mario Brothers – Princess Peach
10. Portal – Companion Cube
11. Bioshock – Big Daddy&Little Sister
12. Team Fortress 2 – Sniper

How odd is it that a scary “holiday” like Friday the 13th is one day and a happy love holiday like Valentine’s Day is the very next day?
