Games I Play on Halloween: A Spooktacular Round Table

The Pixlbit Staff shares some of their favorite games that go bump in the night.

If you get bored waiting for trick-or-treaters to show up at your door, you're not doing Halloween right. There is not one holiday that could be made better by video games, so allow us to refresh your memory with the best horror-themed games to get you in the spirit of the season. Almost all of these are available in one form or another on current generation consoles or are at least fairly cheap -- and be aware that most are rated M.

We actually did :) It's easy to miss, but you'll see the table of contents for the piece on the right hand side that has each of our names.

Just to make it easier, I went ahead and ended each segment with the author's name :)

All these segments are making me even more impatient to get my night of spooky gaming going. Funny enough, I'll play through video games creepy enough to give someone nightmares, but I refuse to watch horror movies. Anyone else like that?

That's a good one. Lots of games that I wanted to give love to, including Undead Nightmare and Dead Rising, but there is always next year!

I started getting into the Halloween spirit right at the beginning of October. I did another playthrough of the original Deadspace and loved it just like I did back when it came out.

Lol, after that I started a playthrough of Deadly Premonition, I laugh even mentioning it. It's the first time I've ever played some of the game, I bought it off Amazon a few weeks ago. Instead of being creeped out I was just laughing the whole time at the dialogue, cut scenes, and music. I was turning my head to the side, confused, trying to figure out just what the hell was going on lol. It's hard to play mechanically, and incredibly time consuming, but I'm kinda fascinated by it and it makes me laugh even thinking about what I've seen in the game so far. It's so f*cking weird.

I really enjoyed Condemned. Kudos!

Another game that I think is perfect for Halloween is Super Metroid. That game has always instilled in me such a sense of isolation and foreboding.

Earthbound was another game we left off the list, but it fits pretty well, given the town of Threed.
