It was a dark and stormy night. The clock struck 13, each tolling bell accompanied by a crack of lightning and rolling thunder that shook the window panes and caused distant hounds to howl into the night.
A whisper of wind shakes the curtains as the light flickers in your dimly lit study. Under the door a note slides. You bend to pick it up and unfold the message, your hand shaking as you do so.
Terrifying.
On the other side of the scrawled note, you find something even more sinister. An FAQ! It reads:
What’s the Halloween Sale?
Well it’s a sale, that’s happening to celebrate Halloween! We’re offering huge savings on the spookiest games around.
What games are on sale?

Where do I get these spooky deals?

Are your games haunted?
We cannot guarantee that our products are ghost-free. We also cannot guarantee ghosts. Basically, we give you games, any ghosts you might encounter you’ll have to deal with by yourself.
With a shudder, you fold the note closed again and thrust it firmly under your door. The night holds no terrors for you now that you have seen the Green Man Gaming Halloween Sale. It’s time to head out and kick zombie arse. In video games anyway.
