It's a banner week for discounted video games, that's for sure. To celebrate this most eventful Halloween, we're serving up nine excellent games all at a reduced price. There are plenty of spooky games in the mix to suit your seasonal needs, but there are also a few that won't haunt your nightmares if that's not really your thing. Let's get to it.

It's been a brilliant year for mobile games thus far. We've seen the return of old favorites like Monument Valley, some cracking PC to mobile ports like Sunless Sea, and some new indie hits. We're a little over halfway in, but we have a list of favorites that extends well into the 20s.

To narrow things down a bit, we're highlighting the games that have been dubbed perfect by the 148Apps reviews panel. Our astute reviews editor, Campbell, doesn't give out 5-star scores easily, but there have been a few deemed worthy of such prestigious accolades. Here are the best games of the year so far.

All right, so this week may have been sparse as far as new releases go. We're looking at it as an opportunity to catch up on titles that fell to the wayside during the past busier weeks. That doesn't mean, however, that there aren't any new games to play at the moment. As it's the weekend, it's time, once more, to take a look back and check out the best games that launched over the last few days.

Sunless Sea, Failbetter Games' dark and gloomy sea explorer, sets sail for the iPad tomorrow. Ahead of the game's launch, Failbetter took to Twitter to discuss what will be different in the mobile version of the game. Many of the changes make navigation and battle much easier when relying on touch controls. Let's take a look, shall we?

Failbetter Games, the folks who brought you Fallen London, are celebrating their 7th birthday today. To commemorate the event, the team revealed that Sunless Sea is coming to iPad this spring.

If you missed the game when it originally launched on PC, it's a delightfully gloomy RPG-esque sailing game set in the Fallen London universe. You sail the Unterzee in search of treasure and more, all while ensuring your crew doesn't turn against you, starve to death, or go insane. While it sounds a bit dark, it's full of Failbetter's signature wit and spectacular writing.
