Attention all you Chicago Trekkies out there, this October 22-24th 2010, Creation Experience will be holding the 44th annual Star Trek Convention at the Westin O’Hare hotel in Rosemont IL. Like previous years, the Con will hold lots of panels, celebs, venders, and exclusive Star Trek merchandise. There will be panels for all the celebs plus special events like a live auction, several contests, a Leonard Nimoy panel of his latest photo seminar and a “Rat-Pack” concert with ST celebs Max Grodenchick, Vaughn Armstrong, Jeffery Combs, Casey Biggs and Armin Shimerman.

Ah, Halloween. I still remember chanting “Trick or Treat! Smell our feet! Give us something good to eat!” hoping to find Candy Corn, M&Ms and pieces of chocolate shaped like pumpkins in my bag. And like other towns across the United States, the variety of costumes you could dress in just to entice the homeowner for that extra piece of candy was the greatest thing since sliced bread to an 8-year-old kid.

And for those who love dressing up for Halloween, a variety of Halloween costumes are available in the…

Halloween is almost here and along with it comes scares of epic proportions. This year, why not get all that trick or treating done early so you can go home and get some serious gaming done? It just so happens that some good games are out in October that could prove to be some of the scariest games of the year. We recommend building up a strong bladder before attempting to tackle this list. Also, it doesn’t count unless you seal yourself in a dark room, turn on the surround sound, and turn the cell phone off. You need the feeling of complete isolation for the full effect to kick in.

Without further adieu, steer your eyes to some of the scariest games of October.

Well my fellow gamers, October 2008 has finally come. This month will feature must-have titles that are highly anticipated to say the least.

While looking for any more information about the Playstation 4 and any goodies coming out soon for my Playstation 3, I came across this blog from the new executive producer of the Playstation Network, Kevin Furuichi, announcing a Halloween-themed episode of Qore available in the Playstation Store this Thursday, October 9, 2008, and this strange looking game interactive site, whatever it is, is called Linger in Shadows. I can’t tell what it is but you can also access it on PSN on October 9, 2008.

Although it looks like a cool game and uses the PSN Trophy system like a game, it is definitely not a game…
