It might not be Halloween anymore, but for twins Wren and Reynold, it's always time for trick-or-treating, spooks, dumb enemies, and yes, mecha. With Christmas coming in soon, you'll get another chance to enjoy the game all over again - Tim Schafer and company are adding more costumes and quests to Costume Quest.

In the downloadable expansion, Grubbins on Ice, the twins will be joined by friends Lucy and Everett. Lucy gets sucked into a magic portal, gets captured by monsters, then, well, it's up to you to save the day. Of course, saving the day won't be as fun without new costumes and new abilities.

• New costumes with special abilities:
  • A pirate costume with a zipline ability that allows players to slide down wires using their hook hand
  • An eyeball costume that has a zoom-out ability letting players see more of the environment and potentially find secrets
  • A Yeti costume with the ability to shield the entire party in battle
• New characters, including the new boss Araxia; new monsters such as the Repugiarchs; and new neighbors – non-player character monsters with unique outfits
• Eight new battle stamps and 18 new “Creepy Treat” cards to collect
• All-new storyline and quests filled with Double Fine’s trademark humor and charm

The DLC pack is now available for the Xbox 360, while the PS3 version will have to wait for December 22nd. Price is set at £3.19, US$ 4.99, or 400 Microsoft Points.
