Who yah gonna call?

Upcoming game, Ghostbusters!

Y'know, there's a weird feeling you sometimes get. That knowledge that, if done effectively, you will save yourself from what is a seemingly inevitable meeting of your face to pavement. They usually hit it off pretty well. It is at this time that I get that same dreadful sensation of going over my bike's handlebars. I am a huge fan of Ghostbusters, the animated series to knowing the quotes leading up to the Stay Puff't guy by heart. So, imagine my joy when I see a trailer advertising my hopes and dreams in game form! But then, it sets in. 

Fear.

Panic.

Claustrophobia as I sit in my comfortable leather chair, wondering if this'll become a one-liner laden version of Luigi's Mansion. It would be SO EASY to ruin this game for me. How, you ask? A collectable easily found item. Remember the fruits from Crash Bandicoot? Or the quirky item from any game ever produced by Nickelodeon? Exactly. From early prototype gameplay videos we see that it's going to be a lot like a kids version of Gears of War or Dead Space. The cutscenes look great so far, but the gameplay is really going to have to add something fun to it to stand out. I hope to god you get a character choice, and that multiplayer is avaliable.

Either way, I'll be purchasing this game to live my nostalgia on screen.
