NewNews - 2011 Halloween Sale on Steam

Official Site: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/scary_sale_2011

It's 4 days before Halloween and Valve helps us celebrate it by having a large collection of frightening games on sale in the steam store.  There's no tricks, just some awesome treats.  Here are some recommendations from the list of games:

F.E.A.R. Collection ($6.79) - It's not entirely a horror game and has plenty of action in it.  With the suspenseful atmosphere, challenging gunfire exchanges and occasional scare, this will be a good game pack to play for Halloween.

Devil May Cry 3 & 4, Resident Evil 5 (different prices) - So maybe you don't want to get scared, but still want ghouls, monsters and zombies in your games.  These three Capcom games has all sorts of nasties with less of the scare and more of the tear (meaning you being the one tearing the monsters apart).  DMC 3 can 2-player co-op when you get the doppleganger style and Resident Evil 5 is also co-op.

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 ($6.79 each) - If you want the ultimate co-op experience with the action and scare at the same time, then Left 4 Dead might be your calling.  I shouldn't even have to recommend this as anyone with a Steam account probably has one or the other in their list of games.  Yes, it's that fun.

Plants vs. Zombies GOTY ($4.99) - This is a good game for the entire family to enjoy.  Even though there are zombies in the game, it won't be too frightening for even younger audiences to play.  It is pretty gruesome to see your beautiful flowers get chewed up by the undead though...

Bioshock 1 & 2 ($4.99) - The Bioshock series has more "pop up and scare" sorts of moments than anything.  The dark chambers and crazy enemies that rush toward you is scary, but not so much once you pump some lead into them with your shotty.

Dead Space Pack ($16.99) - Hey, that's a pretty good deal.  Dead Space is more true to the horror genre than the ones below, but it can be pretty hilarious too.  I found it funny to chop off the legs of your enemies, pick them up and throw it back in their faces only to have them fall off the platforms.  But yes, this series can get quite scary.

And other's that you should check out:
-STALKER Bundle
-Penumbra Collector Pack
-Rock of Ages
-Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
-Dead Island
-Killing Floor Bundle
-Amnesia: The Dark Descent
-F.E.A.R. 3
-Terraria (I highly recommend this one for $4.99)
-Borderlands

There's a lot more listed on the steam store, so check it out and have a safe and spooky Halloween!
