FarmVille Dinosaur Costume: "Rawr" means "I love farming" in dinosaur

Zynga has gone all out this October, adding a whole slew of both decorative items and free gifts to the pages of FarmVille for users to get into (and to help their friends celebrate) the Halloween season. Included in that celebration was the release of page after page of Halloween costumes with which you can deck out your avatar in the holiday spirit as well.

While the current selection might have contained more than enough options to fill your avatar's closet with potential costumes for years to come, one more (particularly special) costume was added to the game this evening. But what is the costume, I hear you asking. Well, if the picture at right didn't give it away, the new costume is the Dinosaur costume, and it can be purchased for 100,000 coins.

This costume is noteworthy due to the fact that it was inspired by player submissions in a recent art project that took place on the official FarmVille forums. Unfortunately, even though the costume has just been added to the store, it still has the same 3-Day time limit that now rests on the vast majority of Halloween goodies released in the game. Shop fast if you want your avatar to be able to say "Rawr" as a T-Rex this Halloween.

Mafia Wars Halloween Loot Event: Complete jobs and brawl for seven rare costumes

Halloween Loot Event
Just when you thought Zynga was done with Halloween in Mafia Wars, the team throws a change up with the Halloween Loot Event. On top of everything else going on this season, doing jobs and beating the pulp out of people like normal will randomly drop one of seven new Halloween costume items like the Devil Costume and Zombie Costume (top left).

Collecting all seven costumes will reward players with the Vampire Bat, an animal with 67 Attack and 34 Defense, which when compared with the stats on the collection's seven other items is pretty impressive, unfortunately. Some of the costumes are actually pretty elaborate (and scary!) like the Ghost Costume (top right). Could you imagine walking into a Halloween party and seeing a dude dressed like that? Either way, this is a free event that will last through Oct. 31. So, get to... doing what you normally do--and quick--if you want to complete the whole Halloween set.
