    Plants vs Zombies is the new candy this Halloween

    By

    No longer must you be the schmuck on the block aiding kids in their quest for cavities. PopCap and the American Dental Association (ADA) have teamed up to provide access to millions of free Plants vs. Zombies codes to hand out in lieu of candy. That's right: you can spread dental hygiene awareness without being the jerk who hands out toothbrushes.

    Pocket God channels the spirit of Ghosts’n Goblins for Halloween

    By

    While the main Pocket God game keeps growing by leaps and bounds, it's spin-off, Pocket God: Journey to Uranus, hasn't exactly been a slouch either. This minigame-centric game has paid homage to a number of classics in the past, and with the release of Episode 6, it can add Capcom's classic action platformer Ghosts'n Goblins to that list.

    Dress like an Angry Bird this Halloween

    By

    I was in a Wal-Mart the other day looking for some stationary. And sitting there, amongst all of the day planners, paper, and pens, was a huge display for Angry Birds. In this instance they were selling 3D posters and stickers, but if you meandered into another part of the store you'd no doubt find t-shirts, plush toys, cell phone cases... the Angry Birds marketing giant is officially in full swing. And so it should come as no surprise that this Halloween, you might just see a little red bird or green pig ring your doorbell looking for candy.

    Yet another Halloween Guide for Facebook Games

    By

    As I mentioned before, based on all the Halloween activities around the spooky holiday, social game companies must sell as much virtual items during this time as Hershey's sell candy. Here is Inside Social Games' guide for all the Halloween events this weekend within the big 4 social game developers' games (including FarmVille, of course). And going retro, here's our previous post with Games.com's summary of Halloween events from a week before.

    Halloween Treat of the Day: Backyard Monsters

    By

    Social game companies are going ga-ga over Halloween. Are game developers so amped on candy they are going crazy creating Halloween events? Or, do Halloween inspired events and items sell well (probably more of the latter). At Gamezebo, we can't possibly track all Halloween events (we still got to report on all the download and iPhone as well as Facebook games, oh my, and better to let Games.com do all the dirty work). We can pick one Facebook game a day to feature and showcase their Halloween theme. Today we feature: Backyard Monsters, a social tower defense game by The Casual Collective that is all about monsters, so they better be doing some cool Halloween event this weekend!
