This week see's the release of Infamous – Festival Of Blood. A stand-alone version of InFamous 2 where vampires have swarmed into New Marais and Cole – the one person who can save the city – has been bitten. Cole now has one night to battle through the bloodsucking hordes and slay the head vampire; otherwise his soul will be lost forever. Sounds like the perfect game for Halloween to me.
