Some people like Christmas, and others favor Valentine’s or Thanksgiving. And if you’re a verbally abusive alcoholic like my cat, Sprinkles, you’re definitely keen on St. Patrick’s Day. But when it comes to video games, Halloween is where the good stuff’s at.
GamesBeat has rounded up a choice selection of games that are celebrating tomorrow’s festivities with some in-game events and special content. You can also check out Steam’s Halloween sale for some discounted horror titles, including all five episodes of The Walking Dead game.

Firefall – Night of the Melding Celebration
Hot on the heels of last week's epic Firefall Fest event, Red 5 Studios has launched some Halloween celebrations in its free-to-play FPS MMO.
Players can purchase special Halloween-themed items such as Jack-o-Lanterns and Bat Bombs for amusing effects, but the Trollstone, which marks the "final resting place" of anyone who dared to challenge you to a duel is an instant classic. Special masks are also available for a limited time.

DLC7_EX4_Christie_DLC003_fix
Dead or Alive 5's scantily-clad ladies are getting even more scan...ti...lier... with the release of multiple DLC costume packs. Normally I'd be on the frontlines bitching about over-priced content that used to be free in previous iterations, but GamesBeat is giving away lots of codes for the DLC to help cut down on your virtual bikini and bunny outfit spending:
