All Hallow's Eve

Anyone ever play Bioshock or Bioshock 2?
It is the perfect game for halloween.
You start out at the entrance to an underwater city called Rapture. Built by a power hungry, insane man, this city was supposed to be an art deco paradise. Guns could be bought in vending machines, special tonics alowed you to splice your DNA and add abilities like telekenesis, and large.. things.. called Big Daddies prowl the streets keeping their charges safe, the Little Sisters. Everything was just dandy, until new years eve... the genetic splicing caught up with the residents of Rapture, turning them into splicers, that look like this:
Creepy, no?
And if that isn't enough, there are these guys:
Little Sisters
These girls aren’t a cute or innocent as they look. In the game, they use you, Alpha, to help them hunt splicers to harvest a certain gene from them, called ADAM. They are controlled by a parasite living withing their neck. Once you help them acheive their goal, you can save them from the parasite, or kill them in cold blood.
Big Sisters
Heh, these girls can take care of themselves. Post-pubesent little sisters, they’ve grown up and gone back to their roots, except now they are the protectors of the little sisters. Armed with a paralyzing voice, various genetic splices, and a giant needle to stab you with. They aren’t something to be trifled with.
Now on to the best part:
Big Daddies
It isn’t easy being a Big Daddy. They start your training by literally ripping out your vocal cords, pumping you with genetic material called ADAM and EVE (Ironic, no? Considering the name of the city), dump a huge suit on you, and throw you out there, telling you to expect grave consequences if you make a mistake. You are then given your first Little Sister, who you treat like your own child. Even though she loves singing things like “the angels daddy”. She sees
the world as a perfect place, and loves stabbing the angels with her needles.
So I suppose this is a game review/info page... seriously, this is a great game to play this month. It so fits the whole Hallows Eve idea
