When thinking of ROM hacks, many will associate them with being unofficial. The most common ROM hacks are those created by homebrew developers or bootleggers. A topic that doesn’t get brought up often, is officially licensed hacks. By now, most are aware that Super Mario Bros. 2 is a ROM hack of Doki Doki Panic. The visuals were re-themed to better market the game in the United States. Back...[Read More]
Back in 2019, developer IllFonic made a name for themselves, releasing their first asymmetrical multiplayer, Friday the 13th: The Game. This tantalizing take on the popular 80s horror series pitted 8 players against the sinister Jason. One year later, the team would release another asymmetrical multiplayer, this time based on the Predator franchise. Predator: Hunting Grounds threw four players int...[Read More]
Have you and your friends been experiencing paranormal activity? Grab your Proton Pack and join the Ghostbusters as you explore Manhattan, blasting ghosts, and trapping those runaway ghouls
So I was pleasantly surprised by the Ghostbusters reboot that arrived last week, after the Internet had been dreading it for, well, forever. That leaves an interesting question then – would the video game from Activision pretty much do the same thing?

The Ghostbusters movies (yes, both of them) will never get old for me. I’ll watch them thirty years from now and still be entertained to no end with the masterfully told story of four men, a woman, another man, another woman, a baby, another man, a giant marshmallow-man, a Carpathian destroyer, an asshole, and a bunch of ghosts. I enjoyed the late-80s animated series at the time, but I’...[Read More]
Atari has tweeted… should that be capitalized? Is tweet a thing to be capitalized? Oh, I don’t care. Anyways, Atari says that Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime will be released on March 23 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Last night, after playing through the Wolverine: Origins demo again (I WANT THAT GAME), I downloaded a few more demos to try out. The first one I downloaded was the Ghostbusters: The Video Game demo. I had heard very good things about it. I also heard that it was, essentially, the third installment of the movie series. As a huge fan of the movies (at least the first one), I had to give it a sh...[Read More]
