To celebrate Halloween, the Pixel Verdict crew—minus a sick Adam—invite you to dip your hand into a bowl of fun-size audio candy, as they discuss their favorite scary games. Get into the spooky spirit with talk of abandoned schools, chainsaw killers, deep space monsters, grim boss fights, and Jonathan Coulton. Plus, take part in a gaming-themed version of “name that tune” with five scary snippets from classic games. How many can you guess without peeking at the answers (posted after the break below)?
What’s your favorite scary game? Let us know in the comments below, over in the DVD Verdict Jury Room forums, or by emailing us at feedback@pixelverdict.com.
