 Finally a proper Halloween! I finally finished Corpse Party and Resident Evil 6, two games I began last year but never finished, either because they were awful or my co-op partner was MIA. Most games were pretty good, which is always a plus, and I finally played the entire Bloody Roar franchise, such a sad ending for a franchise that entertained me so much in my younger years. Galerians too, they were games I played when I was younger but hadn't finished, a thing I corrected this month, which also ends on a low note. Oh well, I guess tragedy is part of Halloween, right?

Game of October:

Hey, guys, you forgot to americanize the characters on the cover too!

 While I haven't found a seller that ships Disaster Report to my country, I couldn't wait to try out Raw Danger!, and I didn't! It was phenomenal, excellent pacing, structure and ambiance. It's a bit lacking in the technical department, but if I'm used to playing brilliant games with clunky mechanics, so the weird movement and poor framerate didn't dampen the experience too much.

 Runner-up:

Even the cover art is similar.

 Bloody Roar 3 and Bloody Roar Primal Fury might as well be the same game, for all intents and purposes. Honestly, I loved all the little tweaks Primal Fury made, sadly, some of the redesigns are a bit or miss. Whichever the case, both games are brilliant button mashers that deserved much better than Hudson's low budget and low effort Bloody Roar 4.
