1. Plants Vs Zombies (Game of The Year Edition)

This Tower Defense games has won numerous awards, and is great for all ages. If you are one of the few who haven't played this, or don't own it already, you need to get this.

2. Batman: Arkham Aslyum

The new Batman game is out, but why not play the great first game that came out a few years back? The caped crusader is the ultimate hero everyone wants to dress up as, and no Halloween can be greater spending it beating up on the bad guys is the demented battlefield of Arkham Aslyum. Best of all, it's for dirt cheap now, and also available to download on both the Xbox 360 and PS stores as well as PC.

3. Resident Evil 5



Available for: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows

While the latest game in the main series isn't as scary as past ones, it's still a great game and a blast to play with a friend. It's been one of my favorite games this generation, and very replayable. If you get the Gold edition, you'll get all the extra content released from the game's original release date. The game is also available for download from each console's respected stores.

4. Left 4 Dead and 5. Left 4 Dead 2



Available for: Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, Mac OS X

What many say are the BEST Zombie games this generation, the Left 4 Dead Series is a blast, an absolute blast to play. Whether you are playing by yourself or with a group of friends (or strangers), the fight to survive through the levels in this game is addicting. And best of all, no matter which way you get it, it's cheap, very cheap to get.

6. Ghostbusters the Video Game



Available for: Microsoft Windows, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360

Who ya gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS. Ghostbusters is the perfect game to blast through on Halloween night. It's not a long game, but still a sweet game.

7. Resident Evil 2 (and the other PS1 Resident Evils)



Available for: PS3 and PSP via the PS Cla$$ics Section at the PS Store

The survival horror Cla$$ic is just perfect for a scary night of play like for Halloween. It's might be a little old, but it'll still scare ya with the lights all off. And while we are at it, I can recommend the other Capcom survival Horror games on the PS1 Section like RE: Nemeisis and Dino Crisis.

8. Code Veronica X and 9. Resident Evil 4



Available for Xbox 360 (download only), PS Store, and Wii (RE4 only)


Just in time for Halloween, Capcom released HD versions of these two RE Cla$$ics. Code Veronica is the one that shows the age of the two, but for a true resident evil fan, you'll appreciate it, especially if you grew up playing it. As for RE 4, quite a lot believe its the best RE game ever. It the one that benefits the most from the HD upgrade, and is a great game for Halloween night. RE 4 also got a WIi version a few years back, and that's just as fun as well.

10. Maximo: Ghosts to Glory



Available for PS3 via PS2 Cla$$ics Section of the PS Store

The new PS2 Cla$$ics line at the PS Store had a nice surprise (well quote a few of them). One being Maximo, a great 3D Hack and Slash game for the PS2. The game is also quite HARD to find and can be a bit costly. It's tough, a bit old school, but worthy for a great Halloween night. It's only $9.99 at the PS store.

11. Condemned: Criminal Origins



Available for: Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows

Released very early on in this generation, but this game still holds up and is VERY scary if you let it be. It's not uncommon to find this game for just a few bucks. Try to solve the mysteries as you try to survive from crime scene to crime scene.

12. Costume Quest



Available for: Xbox 360 (Xbox Live Arcade), PlayStation 3 (PlayStation Network), Microsoft Windows (Steam)

This game is a great game for anyone of all ages to experience Halloween. The game combines elements from adventure games with an RPG that seems like a tribute to FF X-2. it's quite simply the best seasonal video game I've ever played.

13. The House of the Dead: Overkill



Available for: Wii and PS3

The latest in the line of games for the House of The Dead Series, might be the "highest" in price in this list of cheap Halloween thrills, but this game still qill provide one heck of a Halloween night of gaming, blast zombies, monsters and more.
