iPhone Games

When it comes to Halloween games on the iPhone and iPad everyone has played Angry Birds Seasons and Plants vs. Zombies. Rest assured there are plenty of options that are much more scary to get you in the holiday spirit. Several titles are not only creepy, but you'll be fighting for survival surrounded by blood, gore and monsters.

These mobile games take advantage of the touch screen and powerful graphics on iOS devices to deliver an in-depth experience. Here's an alphabetical list of the top 13 scary iOS games for Halloween. Make sure you play these games at night with headphones and turn off the lights.

That's right, Grand Theft Auto fans. Rockstar is working on an iOS version of Vice City to be released for the touch screen platform later this fall. The game joins other mobile entries by Rockstar including Grand Theft Auto III, GTA Chinatown Wars and Max Payne Mobile currently available on iTunes.

Rockstar Games is celebrating Vice City's 10th anniversary, and the company plans to release several enhancements to the title in the mobile version. These include native high-resolution graphics and new artwork to commemorate the anniversary. GTA Vice City will also come to Android devices and Rockstar will release a new trailer featuring key scenes from the game.

Coming off the big Angry Birds Star Wars announcement, Rovio has issued a Halloween-themed update to its Angry Birds Seasons game. The update brings 30-levels of haunted pig action, and a new character called Frankenswine.

Players must brave a haunted house with new ghost bricks and ghouls to save their eggs. The update is free for users who've already purchased the iPhone or iPad version of the game.

In celebration of E.T.'s 30th anniversary, Universal Pictures and Chillingo Ltd have released a brand new iOS game called The Green Planet. The app is basically a farming sim game where users must help E.T. save his dying planet by planting gardens and breeding new plants. Of course this means there is a lot of waiting around for things to grow and in-app purchases to buy cooler plants and decorations. However, the game looks amazing on the iPhone and is pretty addictive if you enjoy sim-type games. E.T. The Green Planet is free to download for both the iPhone and iPad via the App Store.

Universal also released an Anniversary Edition Combo Pack of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial a few days ago. There was also supposed to be an Amazon exclusive E.T. Spaceship w/ BD Combo Pack available, but it hasn't materialized yet. Check out the trailers for E.T. The Green Planet and the Anniversary Blu-ray combo pack below.

The newly announced Angry Birds Star Wars app won't be available until November 8, but fans of both franchises can begin collecting the toy line starting on October 28th. Several online retailers are currently accepting pre-orders for the toys which include: A Jenga Death Star Game, an Angry AT-AT Attack Battle Game, and five plush Angry Birds / Star Wars characters (Darth Vader, Luke, a Stormtrooper, Leia and Han Solo).

Rovio Entertainment has also rolled out a line of new Angry Bird themed Halloween costumes for children and adults, and also plan to release an Angry Birds / Star Wars apparel line in the near future. The game will be available on more platforms including iOS, Android, Amazon's Kindle Fire, Mac, and Microsoft's Windows, Windows Phone and Windows 8. Rovio promises that both franchises will be well represented in the crossover.

"From the deserts of Tatooine to the depths of the Death Star – the game and merchandise will feature the Angry Birds characters starring as the iconic heroes of the beloved Saga," Rovio said.
