With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, several game companies have been posting video game-themed greeting cards online that will warm the pixels of your virtual heart. Grab your companion cube and enjoy these comical, romantic cards that await your significant other or loved one.

Konami is being the most prolific with Valentine’s Day cards this year, with references to Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, and more.

Treyarch Studios is using comic relief for their Call of Duty greeting cards.

Naughty Dog’s got some cute, pun-filled Valentine’s greetings that will melt your heart. Check out these ones based on The Last Of Us: Left Behind and the Uncharted series. The first shows Angel Knives, the fictional game character from Riley's imagination,  giving an epic knock-out punch.

Are you a fan of Borderlands? Check these out.

@Nintendo tweeted about Kirby hoarding all the treats. Meanwhile, Nintendo has also posted downloadable cut-out cards, with inspiration from several titles such as Legend of Zelda: Windwaker.



Mass Effect will indoctrinate your sensitive side with this greeting card.



Killing orcs is fun, but The War Mage is taking some downtime to make a cheesy, rose-clenching romantic move. 

Aside from Valentine’s Day cards, be sure to also check out the exclusive “D’awwwwww” achievement that was made available in Sunset Overdrive today, which adds 175 points to your gamerscore. Happy Valentine’s Day!
