  • New Ghostbusters Game Announced for this Summer

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]4856[/ATTACH]
    Who you gonna call? Probably not me, because I don't know you. Which can only mean you're going to call the Ghostbusters instead. It's a good thing there's a new game coming out later this year to coincide with the new film.

    In case there was any question about it, Activision is behind this latest movie tie-in.
    SANTA MONICA, Calif. – April 15, 2016 – Activision Publishing, Inc., in collaboration with Sony Pictures Consumer Products, has announced a pair of new Ghostbusters video games set in and inspired by the comedic action world of the upcoming Ghostbusters film, in theaters July 15. Taking place after the events of the new movie, both Ghostbusters games introduce new casts of rookies keeping watch over the station while the now-famous Ghostbusters tour the country stopping high-profile poltergeists. When paranormal phenomena unleash apparitions across New York City, these new squads of recruits must don their proton packs and wrestle those rogue spirits back to the afterlife!

    The console game, Ghostbusters, is a third-person action role-playing game positively charged for thrilling couch co-op with up to four players locally. As rookie Ghostbusters, players can level up their characters’ gear and abilities by tackling objectives, defeating ghastly creatures and discovering hidden collectibles in Manhattan’s most haunted haunts. There are four heroes to choose from, and each has his or her own unique personality and play style, bringing special strengths to support the team.

    Ghostbusters is expected to arrive on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC via Steam on July 12.

    The mobile game, Ghostbusters: Slime City, lets players be a Ghostbuster and save New York City from a new wave of threats. Team up with other players in asynchronous co-op, and collect powerful ghosts to rise to the top of the leaderboards. Players can also craft their own proton packs from any number of combinations of components, as well as upgrade their own headquarters and complete jobs around the city for new weapons and rewards.

    Ghostbusters: Slime City is expected to launch in July on select iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices via the App Store, select Android devices via Google Play and select Kindle devices through the Amazon Appstore.

      Follow Digitalzips on Twitch, and you can get an email notification when he goes live. That's several nights a week lately.

      Twitch is the world's leading video platform and community for gamers.

      He usually streams around 9-10 PM EDT and goes until like, 1 AM EDT (I believe his region observes daylight savings time anyway). You can also follow his Twitter @szips where he will give you a heads up if he's streaming or not that day. Usually I assume he's not streaming if it's past midnight on his timezone.

      His streams are fun to watch, because whenever he panics in a game (say he's attacked suddenly, or he has to do some death defying stunt), his voice goes high pitched. I think he's capable of singing "Dream On" if he goes full tilt.

      He also has a great radio voice in general, and he always reads chat.

      I typically start at midnight (ET) and go until whenever.

      When there are games I'm really interested in, like Dark Souls 3, I may stream at different times, like I did these past two days.

      I try to maintain some sort of a "regular" schedule but life doesn't always cooperate, especially lately.

      Usually midnight? Huh... I guess I had gotten used to the earlier streams that I forgot. I could've sworn you usually stop at 1ish which is why I assume no stream if I don't see a tweet past midnight. Then again, the last four streams stopped at, like... 3 AM EDT.

    Review: Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed
    by Shawn Zipay
    A ton of fun with friends.

    Off and on for about two weeks now, I and some friends have been hopping into Ghostbusters: Spirits Within, the latest asymmetrical 4v1 multiplayer game from IllFonic. Though I would have liked to have gotten this review up a good week ago now, life had other plans. I suppose that just means I’m extra confident in my assessment of the game after spending even more time playing it.

    As a little background here, I would consider myself a...

    About 32 years after the initial release of 1990's Ghostbusters game for the Sega Genesis, the fourth member of the crew is finally being added to the game by some diehard fans.

    Ghostbusters News reports that fourth Ghostbuster, Winston Zeddemore, was initially left out of being a playable character from the game. This is in spite of Zeddemore, played by Ernie Hudson, being in the first...
