Games to give you goosebumps

Check out the terrifying titles guaranteed to keep your heart racing this Halloween.

Dead Rising 2

Nothing says Halloween like thousands of shambling, groaning zombies, and no game does zombies like Dead Rising 2.

A perfectly gruesome action adventure to get your hands on this October, Dead Rising 2 features swarms of the undead who can't wait to get their teeth into you. Take on the role of Chuck Greene and battle your way through Fortune City in a bid to find a cure for your infected daughter.

Use an arsenal of humorous weapons, from lawn mowers to fire extinguishers, to pummel your zombie foes before time runs out and you lose everything...

Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition

If you don't fancy going it alone on 31 October, Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition allows two players to jump into the ghastly action together as agents Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar. Set in Kijuju, Africa, you search for a biological arms dealer soon turns into a fight for survival as you discover that the inhabitants of Kijuju have mutated into gruesome, aggressive beings.

Investigate the secrets of Kijuju and battle hideous creatures using the PlayStation Move motion controller. If you're brave enough to play alone, you will be ably assisted on your mission by a computer-controlled character.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Take a step back in time to 1022; the world is in darkness, isolated from the heavens and populated by evil. Play as Gabriel Belmont, a member of the Brotherhood of Light, a group of holy knights who protect and defend the innocent against the horrific creatures that terrorise the land.

After the murder of your wife, you must take down the souls of the dead who roam amongst the living.

BioShock 2

If you're after a truly hair-raising experience this Halloween, enter the eerie world of Rapture in BioShock 2. Creatures known as Splicers prowl the ruined metropolis to the piercing shrieks and screams of other unfortunate souls as you explore this chilling, underwater terrain.

Try to seek out the Little Sister you once protected, but beware, as Little Sisters roam the destroyed town accompanied by their Big Daddy protectors. Keep an eye out for other chilling threats that lurk in this creepy world, too. You have been warned...

Demon's Souls

Full of chilling missions and eerie moments, Demon's Souls throws you into the dark realm of Boletaria, and you must save it from its cursed fate. Upgrade weapons by taking the souls of downed enemies and touch blood stains to see the last moments of someone before their death. This may sound gory, but it is also an insight into where blood-curdling danger lies.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

If you're on the move this Halloween, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on PSP could be the game to keep you in spine-chilling spirits. Play as Harry Mason, an ordinary man whose daughter has gone missing in one of the most terrifying and mysterious towns in America: Silent Hill.

Explore the eerie, snow covered town and try to avoid the demons and monsters that lurk within the shadows.

Singularity

Fancy some modern-day terror? Head over to the island of Katorga-12 in Singularity and take on some intense mutants in this first person shooter. Locked down since a Soviet experiment went very wrong in the 1950s, Katorga-12 is now open for business again, and you have been sent to investigate some bizarre reports coming from the mysterious island.

Explore the island using a host of weapons, including time itself, to stop the catastrophic accident known as the Singularity from destroying mankind. You'll spend most of your time on the edge of your seat as you investigate the secrets of this creepy, unfamiliar place.

God of War III

If epic battles and Greek mythology take your fancy, God of War III will satisfy your needs. Take on the role of the mighty Spartan warrior Kratos and begin your action-packed journey to Mount Olympus.

Fearlessly fight your way to the top of the vast mountain while taking on the undead armies of Zeus, the deadly Minotaur and grotesque Cyclops. Wield a range of exciting new weapons, fight your way to face Zeus himself and unleash some serious vengeance.

Dante's Inferno

Feeling spookily romantic this Halloween? We've got that covered, too. Play as Dante, a warrior searching for his true love Beatrice who is being held hostage in Hell by Lucifer. The evil demon plans to wed Beatrice, escape Hell and travel to Heaven to overthrow God.

If you want to see your lady again, you'll have to battle through the nine terrifying circles of Hell, fight Lucifer's minions and overcome your own demons. Can you face the horrific sins of your own family and the atrocious crimes you have committed? This spine-tingling journey will put you to the test.
