? I would want to have a PS3 to try those out.
 
1) [NDS] Nanashi no Game - It's getting a fan translation that'll most likely be released within the month, probably before Halloween.
2) [NDS] Nanashi no Game ME - No fan translation yet, but it'll probably be started after Nanashi no Game's translation is released.
3) [PC, Linux, Mac OSX] Amnesia: The Dark Descent
4) [PC, Xperia Play] Minecraft - Certain parts of the game, such as the cave and Nether exploration, are really nerve-wracking and can put anyone on edge.
5) [PC] Lost Silver (Hidden) - This is based on a creepy story about a strange Pokemon Silver hack.
6) [NDS] Pokemon Ghost Black ReTold - This is a homebrew for a creepy story about a strange Pokemon Red or Blue hack.
7) [PS3, 360] The Darkness
8) [360] Alan Wake
9) [PC, PSX, Mac OSX] Diablo
10) [PC, Mac, Mac OSX] Diablo II
11) [PC, Mac OSX] Diablo III
12) [NDS] Dementium: The Ward
13) [NDS] Dementium II
14) [PC, Mac OSX, Linux] Penumbra: Overture
15) [PC, Mac OSX, Linux] Penumbra: Black Plague
16) [PC, Mac OSX, Linux] Penumbra: Requiem - This is an expansion to Penumbra: Black Plague
 
The idea of spooky/scary minecraft is fascinating to me.

I scour the internet for lists but I liked these three particularly. Mostly because its not a very hard core list but rather lighthearted. First one is rather extensive. I like the Doom 2 recommendation.

This one is lighthearted.

This one is interesting as it has a modern and old school section

The Castlevania I've been playing is Rondo of Blood. The soundtrack is to die for.
Steam should be having a halloween sale here soon. Hopefully there come some great picks out of that too.

Play*ing Dark Souls and damn is it mentally draining. Sucks the life right out of you.
Only a couple more weeks. Gotta get cracking. I'm not feeling it yet, unfortunately. Kids have all the fun.
 
Ok, since I'm a horror games lover, I'll post some, also, for me games with guns and all that shizz aren't scary, you can kill them so where's the fear in that? Anyway, here's my horror games list (all names have links to trailers of the game or similar vids):

Amnesia: The Dark Descent - A rather recent game that came out last year, I waited for so long for it to come out, and I wasn't dissapointed, this game actually scarred the crap out of me, in this game you don't shoot, you dont kill, all you can do is run and hide... Also, this game as a mechanism that if you stay in dark places for too long, you'll start to hallucinate and get headaches so you gotta control the matches you find and the oil for the lanterns. If you want a horror game with good graphics and that can scare the shizz outta most people, try this one out (dont forget the headphones and no lights for the best experience).

Asylum - Well, nothing much I can say about this one since it still hasn't come out, however, it says it's comming out this year so who knows? Might come out this Halloween
Silent Hill 2 Directors Cut - The only horror games where you can fight monsters that I like, is Silent Hill, I own all the games in the series, but this one is my fave, I actually received this game as an offer when I bought a PC (it was around the same time the game came out, so I guess 10 years ago or so) also, I mention the Directors Cut version because it's the only one I have and I read it has more stuff than the other one. =3

Well, I'll edit later with more games, gotta leave for now

On Monday its October again, and once again, I feverishly want to get in the Halloween mood aided through gaming.

On my immediate radar.

Resident Evil 6 What could possibly be a better gift for Halloween. If I only use one game this October for mood, this will be it.
Demon Souls (work on it some more this year)
The fantastic HL1 mod, Cry of Fear, complete with coop. Its really fantastic. Done by the same people who did Afraid of Monsters.
I might give Telltale's Walking Dead series a go since its got quite a bit of critical acclaim.
I've seen mention of the Slender Man series of mods/games, and I would like to try that, in its original form, upcoming Source engine mod, or new full blown release later.

I keep building this list and thread as I really enjoy this topic. I'm watching new feeds like N4G very readily this year for articles on Halloween games that pop up this time of year.
OH! In the last year Lone Survivor came out. What a fantastic game even if I've only played a bit of it. However, I have listened to the soundtrack many times through and its splendid.
Game Informer this month also mentioned DayZ, Slender, Cry of Fear, and Amnesia in a section this month entitled "Rare Scares"
Crap! One more!. The Secret World. I bought a retail package for 50$ and got burned as it came to Steam shortly after. I haven't redeemed my key yet, but played Beta qutie a bit. I think I'll use my month for October!

I'm interested in trying to find some GOG.com mixes for Halloween, as well as very excited to see what indieroyale's Halloween Bundle will entail


Finding that installation on a remote part of some remote planet in Mass Effect 1 only to find it was full of HUSKS!

Cool link I found courtesy of N4G.

Off the top of my head (aside from the ones already listed), the hotel missions in Super Mario Sunshine. The Pumpkin/ghost-themed levels in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, and Shadow the Hedgehog. Can't think of much else.
