    Fun!

    I played through Costume Quest last night in one sitting, 6 hours straight. I think that is the mark of a good game. The game mechanics got pretty repetitive after awhile and started reminding me of Assassin's Creed; trick or treat at house, trade card, get costume materials, fight boss, rinse and repeat. With that said the pacing of the story and unlocks was what held me on. Even if it meant trick or treating at 16/16 houses to progress and get that next "cooooool" costume moment, it was worth it. I think this game had some more difficult parts but was developed with kids in mind. It's a lot like Toy Story, there is a bunch there for us adults to have fun with, but the core demographic is probably a 8-12 yr old audience. My wife and daughter loved it and it's really a fun game to get you feeling like a kid again around the Halloween holiday. I think it's more worth 10 dollars, so maybe wait till it drops.
     
    P.S. there are pumpkin pale and pumpkin mask avatar awards!!
     
    Have Fun, Happy Halloween

It's perhaps not the longest or most memorable downloadable titles out there, but it's certainly a perfectly fine first entry by the developer for the downloadable scene. And while this isn't directly a Shaffer development, but rather Double Fine's lead animator Tasha Harris pr...

       Costume Quest is one of those games that gives a good first impression. It has a nicely defined, clean art style, reminiscient of Animal Crossing or Earthbound, a whimsical sense of humour and simple game mechanics. The main thrusts of the game are mild adventure style item hunts and RPG battling. In order to proceed further and rescue your sibling from the clutches of the monsters hell-bent on stealing candy from your town, you need to acquire new costumes. Many of them have abilities that can...
