Here at the Meister House, we’re in the process of getting ready for Halloween 2007, but here’s a look back at our 2006 setup along with the 200-plus trick-or-treat visitors we had on Halloween itself.

You can also find photos from the night in our Meister Holidays photo gallery.

Unreal Tournament III Has a Plot?

Unreal Tournament III

Long-time players of the Unreal Tournament videogame series have come to accept the near complete lack of single-player story mode in a game that’s always been centered loosely around the plot of futuristic combat games.

But if this video is any indication, while the gameplay won’t change much, at least this time there’s an attempt at a story.

Portal to My Heart

When I originally watched the above Portal trailer a few months ago, I figured that the game would be a mildly amusing, but short diversion with a gimmick that would quickly get old.

Instead, I got a near perfect three hours of puzzle game that beats all others in humor content and even gives Bioshock’s well-received storyline a run for its money during the end levels.
