Wasn't October spooky? Did shivers run down your spins while searching Dracula's castles? Did danger lurk in the darkness of the shadows surrounding Seto?
Techwizard, singlebanana, GrayGhost81, and I hope those who took part in October's Playthroughs had loads of fun.
Currently, Dezorian is in the lead for Simon's Quest with 42 Achievement Points for RFGen's inaugural Retro Playthrough. Still some time left to overtake him and earn singlebanana's super secret, coveted achievement prize. Over in the Modern Playthrough thread all those who found the Silver Haired Girl and helped Seto make new friends along the way deserve a salute for their accomplishments.
If you thought things were ominous last month, November's games will surely provide some great thrills.
Open your eyes to a bitter truth because things are much more sinister than they seem. Join Abe and Max in their journeys to overcome worlds bent on their downfalls.
Oddworld: Abe's Odysee (PS1) tells the dark fantasy story of a gremlin-like creature named Abe who is an unsuspecting factory janitor who learns that the fate of his race lies in the sadistic hands of his sinister captors. Guide Abe in his escape to salvation during techwizard's inaugural Retro Community Playthrough.
Max Payne 3 (PS3, X360) is the broken New York cop's vengeful return to video games. Max is a broken man seeking respite in Brazil as a bodyguard for a high profile corporate figure. Unfortunately, trouble has a way of finding Max. Fight through the seedy underbelly of Brazil as a man who, with nothing left to live for, puts his life on the line to uphold his duty. Things will quickly spiral out of control in Modern Community Playthrough.

we're in for a lot of fun this month!

Whoop whoop!

I wont be in for November (dont own either game), but I thoroughly enjoyed having a reason to pick-up and play Castlevavia II! I got a funny feeling that the retro playthroughs to come, are going to force me to scramble and pick up games, last minute. Keep em coming guys!!!

there's only been one playthrough so far that i've actually owned the game for already. no worries about starting late, if you pick up one of the games 2 or 3 weeks into november go ahead and play it anyway! the checkpoints and achievements aren't that important, we're just trying to have fun and talk about the games together.

I'd like to join for Max Payne 3, but as I've not beat the first 2 games. I'd kinda like to finish them before starting on the third.

@Link41: I had never played the first two Max Paynes before playing this game and I adjusted fine. The major plot elements are retold in the third game so you'll never be lost. The game was meant to be accommodating to first time Max Payne players.
