Get into the Halloween spirit with Costume Quest, a charming and fun Xbox Live/PSN adventure from the talented folks at Double Fine. This non-violent and pretty video game casts you as a brother or sister (it’s your choice) that sets off to rescue the other sibling from a bunch of monsters known as grubbins, as well as an evil witch named Dorsilla. Armed with your candy bag and available costumes, you explore a handful of environments searching for hidden goodies, interacting with kids and battling enemies. It’s pretty, full of imagination and quite enjoyable, so long as you can put up with some back tracking.

This week the Link Cable Gaming crew gets all dressed up in their finest Halloween garb to discuss their favorite horror and even just spooky games in a special Halloween episode!
MonsterVine: "October is the month of Halloween, so what better time to sit down and play some spooky games? Here are a few of my top picks (in no particular order) for spooky games–which are not necessarily all horror games–to play this month. "
Xbox Wire writes - "Get ready for a Spooktacular October Games with Gold lineup! On Xbox One, play as an adorable villain in the throwback horror puzzle game Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut, and keep your wits about you in the creepy stealth title Maid of Sker. On the Xbox 360, and Xbox One via Backward Compatibility, warp through ancient Egypt in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and get your trick-or-treating fix in Costume Quest."
Probably the worst Game with Gold ever, clearly trying to stop the project, they want people to pay $15 a month for Game Pass Ultimate instead of $5 for Gold. I'd rather own my games than rent them.
Not a chance there is $72 worth of content there too, $35 would be pushing it.
Is it weird that no one is talking about how Xbox discontinued 12 month games with gold subs? You can only get 1 month and 3 months on the Xbox web site. So you're options are 120 or 100 a year. I guess you can still find 12 month physical cards...which is a sneaky way of masking a price hike. Well played Microsoft.
Fun game!
The rest of the world can't relate to this game as much as kids from the US can since trick -n- treating is a tradition here only.
As for the game itself if you strip it down from the Halloween setting, it isn't as good. I tried the demo and deleted it after 10 minutes of playing.
Thinking of getting this.
Played the demo. It was fun, and one of those games that both kids & adults would like (kids old enough to read that is, since all dialog is text)
Absolutely amazing game. Best $15 I ever spent.
