The company promised &#8220;All Tricks No Treats With [insert name of a certain online gaming service] Halloween This Week&#8221;.  That doesn&#8217;t exactly encourage me to knock on their door.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, if you play Space Pirates and Zombies this weekend, you&#8217;ll notice the option for a Halloween mod is enabled by default.  Leave that on.  When the game starts, head for the nearest space station and dig the new &#8220;Trick or Treat&#8221; option.  And don&#8217;t expect All Treats No Tricks.  You&#8217;ll find a bunch of other adorable Halloween touches in Space Pirates and Zombies this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Another one of my favorite indie games, Dungeon Defenders, features costumes for the characters and a new Halloween mission, but only for PC users.  Thanks, Microsoft, for no treats this Halloween!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
