So yeah, how many people plan on going to some kinda of Halloween type festivity this weekend? Not me, that requires too much of the “doing things,” something I’m generally opposed too. If you are like me and too lazy to actually do something outside, here is some great games you can be playing while passing out candy to kids dressed as Edward of Twilight, Justin Bieber, and various other throw away pop culture icons I won’t claim to understand.
RED DEAD REDEMPTION UNDEAD NIGHTMARE: Ever feel like the only thing the wild west was missing was a completely crazy undead outbreak? Me neither, but now you got it anyway for the low price of 800 ms points/10.00 USD. This expansion for the GOTY contender features a new single player campaign, Undead Overrun (RDR’s Coop Zombie Survival Mode), the king of the hill style “Land Grab,” new weapons like the insane Blunderbuss, and unlockable outfits both campaign and multiplayer, this pack is a huge value for 10 dollars. Red Dead fans should jump on board the zombie killing if you haven’t already.
COSTUME QUEST: From the mind of Tim Schafer and the folks at Double Fine comes Costume Quest, an old school RPG about candy, fighting ghost and ghouls, and turning into giant robots. If you are scratching your head in confusion, you obviously have never a Tim Schafer game and should also be ashamed of yourself. This game is a true classic RPG ,basically think Earthbound: Halloween edition, complete with super cute big headed kids, great humor and lots of over the top cartoon violence. If you love old school RPG’s you should really kick Double Fine the 1600ms points/15.00 USD for PSN and XBLA .

Halloween Harvest is back with all the exploding pumpkins and ghost, but we also get Mann-Manor.
