I remember really enjoying it.

That sounds like Dr. Chaos. And the SMS game Korly played must be Ghost House.

I got to Dracula in Ghost House, but he just turned into a bat and beat the hell out of me. There was no way to advance towards him, and he just relentlessly beat me down. I always wanted to see the ending to that game too. :(

I will definitely be playing Costume Quest, which seems like the perfect Halloween game. My daughter loved the concept and gameplay was easy enough for her to play, so that makes it a winner. I just think it might be too short for the price.

That was it! I remember really getting into that game for some reason, but I think it was a little too difficult for me back then. I wonder how it is to play now...

You'll be happy to know there's no real ending (if you didn't know that already).

I need to dig out my copy of D for the Saturn.

Frankenstein's Monster for the 2600 is good:

"I feel myself...changing!" I've only "seen" the bad ending once. You hear Laura's father eating her during the credits.

I played some Devil's Crush yesterday. That's a good game for Halloween. Also for any day, ever.

Halloween gaming 2013, go!

I've been playing some non-scary but darkly themed Diablo III, and will be re-installing the Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing for something a little more gothic. This will also be the year that I finally play my copy of Amnesia that I've had installed yet untouched for years now (I seriously cannot explain that even a little bit).

In super exciting news, Brutal Doom 0.19 will be finally released on the 31st (it was supposed to be released in August but was discovered to have some crippling bugs that needed to be fixed right before it was about to drop)! 0.18 was incredible and the additions to this final-for-now version are going to be pretty fantastic.

Not sure how long it's going on, but Amazon is currently having a 50% sale ($15) for Steam codes of Castlevania LOS: Ultimate Edition.

Breaking Point. Basically Day Z for ARMA III.

The first 2 Fatal Frames are on sale for 2 dollars each on PSN starting Tuesday. And Fatal Frame 3 is only 10 dollars (Gamestop has been selling it for $40+ for the last few years). You should play those for Halloween.
