Transcript

I wish I could play this... Turns out I can't play the new Halloween game because Australia banned it. The violence has nothing to do with it. See it's Halloween and you're one of four neighbors on a dark street where Michael Myers can only close in when the lights are out or your back is turned. So every door you get open buys you time to call the police, or somewhere to hide, or a neighbor who follows you with an axe. But actually getting anyone out means an escape route except that makes enough noise to tell him exactly where you are. But you can't kill him. So the best you'll manage is putting him back in the hospital he escaped from. And I can't play any of it. Because you can smoke a joint. Games Explorer, we find great games for you. Is called Halloween: The Game.
