Got the Ghostbusters video game from Atari yesterday. I am... deeply pleased. And I am also quite content to consider it the third movie based on what I've played so far, which is 1/4 to 1/3 of the total playtime from what I can tell. (Or the second movie, given that I have yet to see a reference to Vigo the Carpathian. I would not cry if this were the second movie. I'm still convinced Ghostbusters 2 works best as a story if you assume it's actually five cartoon episodes strung together back to back and filmed with the live-action actors for some inexplicable reason.)

There will be proper reviewing later, as I am at work and work has been insane lately, but I thought folks should know. Oh, and you play as a new recruit- a fifth Ghostbuster who's just joined the company. You don't get a name. Venkman specifically stops Ray and Egon from telling him your name on the grounds that he doesn't wanna get too attached to this one. You get to see your character in the cut scenes, but I have yet to see or hear him talk, which is fine with me.

Just FYI, but last week (June 8) was the 25th anniversary of the release of the original film. That makes me feel old, but also calls for a party or something.

I'm looking forward to your review, since I'm interested in the story of the game and doubt I will ever get to play it...

The latest Backward Compatible (http://www.crispygamer.com/comics/backward/) is about the GB game. Just thought you should know. ^.^

Clearly, the rookie is related to Gordon Freeman.

...I really need a computer that can actually play the current generation of games. ;.;

I went Xbox 360 a while back. Easier than constantly updating my PC. And the only reason I chose it over the PS3 is because I wanted to play Bioshock; I have no interest in the console wars.
