0

If you look at only one Halloween post today, it should be Justin’s epic roundup of MMORPG Halloween events, or possibly the Halloween sale list if you’re more into saving money than questing for digital candy.

But if you have a bit more time, then today’s compilation gamely presents itself on your doorstep to say “trick or treat”! We’ve rounded up everything — all the event posts, the patch posts, the streams, and the features with Halloween stamped on ’em. We’ve even collected all of our Halloween-themed streams from the past couple of weeks so you can see what the season is like in all the games you don’t play. Except for these. No one can play these.

And stay tuned for this evening for one more Halloween treat for those of you who are musically inclined.

Be safe tonight folks, and enjoy!
