A game site going live isn't normally an incredibly exciting part of a hyped game's belabored crawl to a release date, that is unless it's the site for Ghostbusters: The Game, at which point all bets are off and any new media is like perfectly melon-balled spheres of mana from heaven, fed to you by two shaven love-slaves whilst reclining on a dais carved from pure gold. Don't believe me? Just ask Colette; the woman literally urinated all over the new carpet in my office (utility closet) here at HQ when I showed her the site.
And did I stop her? Hell no I didn't, I was too busy coating my laptop in a fine film of drool, hypnotized by the words "Don't Cross The Streams" and my own man-childish glee, to take note of the near-constant micturitions of Ms. Bennett.
The site is simply a reconfirmation of what's already been made abundantly clear: the game will be on the 360, PS3, PS2, PC, Wii and DS; it will feature voice acting from the original crew; and it is being written by the original writers of the first two films. Add some fancy (to a luddite such as myself) flash effects, a sign-up page for news, a couple of screenshots, and bam, website. But I'll be damned if I don't feel like I've been delivered something awesome, soaked carpet or no.
Enjoy the quiet while it's here, my friends; with the launch of the site and September being (relatively) soon, it's obvious that the great Ghostbusters hype-machine has ceased its infrequent growth (and subsequent news) spasms.

Does anybody who bought one of these 8-bit ghost buster games (like I did for $20 in a discount bin around 1990 when I could have got something good for my NES)
Really want to even bother buying this? I am not I am going to rent it The 8-bit ghostbusters games was liek some of the worst times I ever had with games. IT sill hurts all these years later I don't care how cool the movies is all it took
was 1 nes game.
I will try it but only if it's free I am not wasting more money on anything with the name ghostbusters or Video game in the same sentance.
You're right man. They were BAAAD. I think the sega one was pretty good if memory serves me. I can't remember if it was master system or genesis, but I recall one of their versions being more fun.
So that means it got a 6.5 out of 10 I did not pay for It and only tried it for free because somebody else wasted cash on it and let me use it.
I would never spent money on it though I bought :Streets of rage 2" I learned my lesson about trying games Like that first.
"Also, necrosis"
Also, Necros is what? Awesome?
Hotlinking is not allowed.
But after that Transformers game fiasco . . . I can't feel hype for movie tie in gams anymore, even old movie tie ins . . .
Not until that Heat game comes out . . .
I know there's no way they'd let you customize your own Ghostbuster character, but that would be sweet, too.
But really I just want to cross streams with my friends.
... ah, there's no way to fix that sentence.
Tiff, I salute you for the reference to The Big Lebowski, but I share Sharpless’ envy of your super elite speakeasy-going. Man, I hope this game is good...I’m actually really impressed that they got all the original guys to come back.
Best drink ever.
Don't cross the streams.
Prepare to drool.
Not
Suck.
Seriously. If Sierra fucks this up I will write down the names of the lead developers and never buy a game they're attached to ever again.
Oh man I can't wait to hear Bill Murry as Venkman again.
*perks up*
I don't think it was so much that they "got the original guys to come back" as Dan Aykroyd wanted to make another movie and was unsuccessful for a number of reasons (licensing, certain actors not wanting to do a live action film, etc.). As a result, the script is being used for this game. At least, that's the story I vaguely remember hearing.
