It’s Halloween time on Xbox Live this week! There are ghouls, ghosts, invaders from beyond… and race cars… to be had! DAYYYYYYTONAAAAAA!!
My pick of the week is the uber-stylish War of the Worlds, but there’s actually a lot to like about Xbox Live this week- aside from multiplayer Battlefield 3.
Zombie Apocalypse: Never Die Alone is sorta Dead Island-y. Set on a Canadian Isle (there are Canadian Islands?) this isometric shooter features the same humor and action found in last year’s Zombie Apocalypse. Then there’s also the free (for this week only!) add-on for Pinball FX- the Paranormal Table. If you’ve played any of the Pinball FX tables in the past, then I probably don’t have to sell you any on that one.
Also worth mentioning are some of the sales going on right now. Both Dead Rising 2 expansions are half off, along with the first DR at 25 per cent off. There’s also a bunch of new Avatar stuff and, of course, the Shocktober sale is still ongoing.
