'Tis Halloween, when ghosts and ghouls come out to play, and when Epic Games shoves a new batch of freebies onto its store because it's also Thursday. But what's this! Today's releases - SOMA and Costume Quest - are a spooky lot, as befitting of the season. SOMA, of course, is developer Frictional Games sci-fi-hued follow-up to acclaimed horror, Amnesia: The Dark Descent. This time around, Lovecraft-inspired scares make way for something rather more philosophical, but no less unsettling, with SO...

This week's Epic Games Store freebies are excellent Halloween fare, but they couldn't be more different.

Now Frederator Studios, the people behind Adventure Time and the Netflix Castlevania series, are turning it into a cartoon.  The animated series will debut on Amazon's Prime Video service on March 8. The trailer makes it look a bit different c...

Amazon's animated TV adaptation of Double Fine's much-loved Costume Quest series will premiere on March 8th - and there's a first proper trailer to celebrate.
