Ghostbusters, my childhood favoured film series is now finally been transformed into a game, yes Egon, Ray, Winston and heraldries Dr. Peter Venkman are back to kick some ghost ass again in there comical fashion (if they have asses). Starting the game you will find out that u will not be playing one of the original cast, no u play as a new recruit known as the rookie, you where hired to become there experimental equipment technician aka u will be testing the newest ghost kicking toys for the others (so u become there guinea pig to make shore they doesn’t explode).

The new weapons in the game are true amazing (in my eyes) one of them is a slime gun witch is featured in the second film (Ghostbusters 2), running around shooting slime at walls, ghost and your team mates is a world of fun. While playing it I did notices that team work is needed, the AI’s are ok, but human players are better. The game is four player co-o, but only online, offline is single player witch is fine will me, I personally prefer a full screen to myself then split screen (I’m very shellfish when it comes to gaming lol). The game was written by the original writes of the films and when you play the game you can really tell by seeing the same comical wit as the films. Not only was the same writes involved but the original cast from the films where reunited to do the voice in the game and there are rumours that because of this reunion there is talk of a possible another film in the future (really geeking out about it! Lol)

Over all I really did love this game, challenging, witty and fun, what more can u ask for really. I give this game 5 out of 5 thumps up (if I had a extra three thumps, lol).

End of JJ’sword!

I knew that they were making a Ghostbusters game, but I hadn't actually watched any footage of it, so the other day I decided I'd take a look at it.
Now, I am very sceptical about games that are made based on films and TV etc - usually because they pump out a game with the sole intention of it making money and don't care too much if it's good or bad, but check this out ...

Ghostbusters the videogame looks pretty darn good though. They have gone to great lengths to make the game look awesome - the graphics look great and they even have the original actors doing the voices!

Now I'm thinking "ohhh yeah, 4 player co-op?" - apparently not!

The wii version will have two player co-op in the campaign but not for the XBOX or PS3, instead we have several multiplayer modes.
These modes allow a group of up to 4 players to go out and do random jobs together - so this is essentially co-op play but it still isn't the campaign. Here is a run down of the modes that will be available:

Alien Hominid - I remember playing this when it first showed its tentative yellow little face on newgrounds, as little more than a flash game.
It was quick, it was funny, it was artistic and it was THUMB BLEEDINGLY HARD.

It's old school appeal led to it being picked up by a publisher for the ps2 though, and it materialized on the console to a small measure of success, just about scraping its small production costs back.

But now it's on xbox live... in HD...for a paltry 800 points.

And by gum it's looking good.



The plot? You're an alien shot down by the FBI trying to get his spaceship back. You have a laser gun and the ability to eat peoples faces off. End of Plot. Nice n simple.

The primary appeal to this game is it's old school appraoch. The difficulty is unforgiving, 1 bullet = death. You have lives and a small number of continues, once they're gone it's game over.
There are old school powerups littered around, from cutting death rays to my favorite- something that looks like an easter egg gatling gun. All have hilarious effects on their unfortunate victims.

The enemies come in droves, but i enough different ways to keep things from being too repetative, and some of the level design is frankly inspired (inspired by Metal Slug that is, see below). There's on level where you're fighting ontop of all the moving traffic of a motorway. The car's your standing on can be destroyed, leaving you a bloody smear on the ground - but you can jack cars and ram them into stuff. Brilliant, brutal and hilarios fun.
Just seeing Alien's yellow little face smiling out of the window of an ice cream truck as he rams an FBI van of the road is something beautiful.

In short - this is an old school side scrawling 2d shoot em up.

I enjoy playing games where I mercilessly maraud around shooting futuristic weaponry at my friends hoping that my shots meet their target to dismember them. I rarely take a moment to think about the guns that I’m firing but upon reflection, here are my top 10 badass guns of all time.


10. Hammer of Dawn - Gears of War
Put simply - who wouldn’t want an orbital death satellite canon at there disposal?





Guns like this have appeared before in games such as the Ion Painter in Unreal Tournament, but the Hammer of Dawn has unlimited ammo if your not multi-playering and only limitations is the time limit on the beam and the fact you have to have a clear sky...


Apart from that its all good!




9. Redeemer - Unreal Tournament
The Redeemer, a hand held nuclear missile silo with a impressive blast radius - which you'd fully expect from a nuclear warhead.





Even better you can remotely guide the missile to your target, sneaky players could glide up to the other team from behind and let them know that they are there by making contact with a players head unleashing an utterly devastating explosion, just don’t let them see you while your doing it!




8. Spartan Laser - Halo 3
A big red death laser ... sounds right up my street. Designed for anti vehicle use but is also superb in anti personnel use. This highly charged energy laser beam will destroy anything you point it at.


Put in the right hands the Spartan Laser usually leaves opposing players waiting for their respawn.





Just image if you could dual wield it!




7. Lancer - Gears of War
