I’m not normally one for themed, seasonal gaming… but Halloween seems to lend itself particularly well to playing a particular type of game.

So what are you playing this spooky season?

This year, I’m playing through Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (DS version, via the Retroid Pocket 2S). It’s not the spookiest entry in the series, but has enough creepy castle exploration to fit the bill.

I hate it when I come in here and I see a game that came out when I was in my twenties. Everyone should check with me first before describing anything as retro.

2010 games are considered retro by most as well, decided to ruin your day.

I’ll now be crawling under the porch and dying, as is appropriate for my age.

I like Romhacks (in other words modding of old games) that bring Halloween themed specials to known games. I haven’t looked into it this season yet, but here is an example The Quest for the Candies (Super Mario World).

Decided to give the first Silent Hill a try finally. Figured on my small MM+ and it being an older game graphically it would be easier to handle but uh…nope! Still scaring the shit out of me :)
