Our favorites so far have to be the Borderlands pumpkin over on Joystiq, and one of Pitfall over on Kotaku.

Nice to see such creativity. We’re already planning ours for next year.

Go have a look through the links.

Microsoft has put up some costumes for your Avatars on the XBL Marketplace.

You can be anything from a wizard to an alien, a king and queen to a vampire.

We like the werewolf costume, and will probably shell out the 240 MS Points ($3.00/£2.04/€2.79) for it, which will be a first on our end.

There’s loads more through here.
