Here at TGR, we like to embrace the seasons. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and, of course, Hell on Earth. There is no bias whatsoever. So we’ve decide to compile a list of five things gamers could possibly get up to on this gruesome night.

Play Dead Space (and other horror games)

The obvious choice for your gaming shocks tonight would be the newly released Dead Space, a harrowing tale of an engineer stuck in space on a ship full of what were once humans. But maybe it’s also a good time to go back to those horror classics. By now, you’ve probably forgot the parts that were scary. Good choices come in the form of Doom, The Suffering, Fatal Frame/Project Zero or Silent Hill. Just don’t get caught playing them after midnight, as the witches may punish you by bring whatever horrid monster you are fighting on-screen to life. And then making it share a room with you. Maybe try and get caught playing Dead or Alive or even Leisure Suit Larry, just in case.

Dress Up As a Video Game Character

I must admit that last Halloween, I dawned a red karate gi (which was white 12 hours previous; thank goodness for quick dye), a black belt, cheap gloves (which I cut so they were fingerless), tape (wrapped around my feet), horrible ‘blonde’ hair dye (that turned my hair semi-neon) before finally rolling up my sleeves up to make them look like they had been ripped off, all in the spirit of looking like Ken from Street Fighter. It was a proud moment for me but, I’ll admit, one of my geekiest. Zelda or Solid snake are safe bets, but if you’re heading off to some random Halloween Party, then please, PLEASE don’t dress as "The King of all Cosmos" like the poor chap above. I’ll bet he was mistaken for a coat rack.
