The wait is finally over. After what seemed like an eternity,
Ghostbusters: The Video Game finally hit store shelves on Tuesday. I'd been looking forward to this game for quite some time and, at one point, was beginning to question whether it would ever be released at all.
Luckily, the game did make it to store shelves, and I was able to head out to Best Buy a few hours ago and pick up a copy. I do like what I've seen thus far but, only owning it for a few hours now, I admittedly haven't played enough to make a fair or accurate judgement. Hopefully I'll be able to find some extra time soon so I can get more involved with this game. Damn you, life! Damn you for getting in the way of my video game playing!
My lack of a critique aside, word of mouth on the game has been largely positive from what I've read and heard. And the trailers that are out there make me even more anxious to spend some time on this game. Oh, and did I mention that the entire original team came back to do the voices of their digital selves in this game? Not to mention, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man makes an appearance! Fuck yeah!
While we're on the subject of video games, I'd like to give myself a swift kick in the ass. I'm sure many of you know that E3 was a few weeks ago. Well, I totally meant to post the trailers that were released at E3 for the games that I found interesting. One quick look around the site will reveal no E3 trailers so, obviously, my dumbass missed the boat on that since it has now been 2 weeks since it took place. Yes, I'm a slacker.
Fortunately for us,
That Girl isn't. I suggest heading on over to
That Girl's Site where not only can you find many of the kickass trailers that came out of E3, but you can also find some behind the scenes footage and pictures (including a few of the Ghostbusters' own Ecto-1) since she was actually there!
