Matt writes: "10 years ago Ghostbusters The Video Game was released on Xbox 360. A decade later the remaster has been released. We review Saber Interactive's latest game."
WTMG's Todd Eggleston: "Ghostbusters The Video Game is nostalgia done right, and puts you right back in 1984. It isn’t a masterpiece of a game, and neither was the movie, but it reminds us again that it is ok for entertainment to just be entertaining. It is a game that deserves to be remastered and remembered. And 35 years later, it also serves to remind us that a remaster doesn’t always need to be Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott. Sometimes, Ray Parker Jr. is exactly who you need to call."
Joseph, Josh, and Chris discuss Fortnite Season 2, Okami 2, and the continuing Blizzard controversy.
Cool. I'm glad they are bringing the entire cast back.
Vivendi is a decent company... Def. not bad. I like ghost busters too... grew up watching it... sooo many games coming we don't even have a clue. I can't wait.
HOLY CRAP THIS WILL BE GOOD! I'm glad they have different studios working on the game. The next gen platforms have one and the other systems have another. I think this is a smart move because the next gen games will get as much attention as they need to be completed properly.
I don't see Ray Parker Jr. mentioned!! We need a 3d Ray Parker Jr. to do the theme song.
