Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is the latest game in a series of many which have attempted to capture the essence of the Ghostbusters film. When the movie hit theaters in 1984 so too did a game for popular consoles of the time. Since then, a new Ghostbusters game has shown up every few years to try and woo gamers. The first attempt of the current generation of consoles was Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Now we have the second yet again hoping to lure players in with the title. Does it manage to live up to the Ghostbusters name?

Are there not 4 guys?? or is it one of them is of color and advertisers don't want to acknowledge Ernie Hudson in any media,gaming promotion??
out of curiosity i'm asking.
Yeah, that's mentioned in the article. One of the games (I think Real Ghostbusters on Genesis) didn't have Winston at all.
Winston didnt get a whole lot of love in the movies either though. When I watched the movies as an adult, I always felt like he was an afterthought ( I also forgot about the Ghost going down on Ray). He has Zero backstory, just answered the ad in the paper.
He doesnt have much to do with the 2009 Ghostbusters game at all really. I hear 3X more lines from Ray and Venkman.
Disagree. In the second one, maybe, where he had a few scenes just make him feel like "part of the group", but he has important lines and scenes in the first film.
When he and Ray are in the car talking about the "end of days" - that's a pretty powerful scene. Very eerie.
Also the time at the Mayor's office, he delivers one of the best lines in Ghostbusters history.
"I've seen shit that'll turn you white!" It's hilarious. The face on the Mayor's helpers when he says that...cracks me up every time.
I think he really compliments the other three well in the first film. They were all sucky, boring characters in the second, it wasn't just him, but the script was more desperate to make him seem relevant.
But Ernie Hudson's delivery and character's presence in the first film I felt were spot on. It was a nice balancing act, because he was really the only level-headed guy on the team, whereas the other three were really just quacks.
This is it! The Top 10 WORST Games of 2011! These are the games that pissed Angry Joe off the most off this year.
had fun with green lantern.....and nobody made him play tho it.....
Brink havent played but its 17dollors new
I got it for $5 new from Best Buy during the holidays. Not sure why so many people hate it, unless they fixed what ever was wrong with it. It takes some getting use it, but I'm enjoying it.
"had fun with green lantern.....and nobody made him play tho it..... "
Yeah, nobody MAKES reviewers play games.
/s
Angry Joe is about as funny as the Big Bang series times ten! (interesting fact: 0 times 10 is still zero)
im taking that ur a huge angry joe fan and on his forums......to me his some random guy posting videos on review games and movies......most of his reviews on games i disagree and movies also..... and far as saying his funny its your opinion just like his opinion on the game.....so chill with CAPS....
First of all, "caps"? Really? I made ONE word all caps because this site doesn't offer the use of italics. I have to emphasize somehow.
Second of all.....is that really what you got out of my comment? I really hope English is not your first language because I made it pretty clear that I didn't think Angry Joe was funny in the slightest.
