Tech-Gaming Technology, Gaming, and Culture
Gamers seeking to cleanse the haunted streets of Manhattan, are faced with three choices this week. The could purchase the more action-oriented 360 and PS3 versions of Ghostbusters: The Video Game, both of which have a competitive, online, multiplayer component. While the PS2 and Wii versions offer local cooperative busting, gameplay is said to be more puzzle-oriented. Finally, there’s the DS version, which was inspired by Activision’s old Ghostbusters computer game. We bet Rick Moranis, who refused to be part of the game’s production, will play none of them.

DesertEagle’s Pick: While Xbox 360 owners were charged $60 for an inferior version of America’s Army, PC owners have always been able to enjoy the franchise free of charge. Use of the Unreal Engine 3 means the third iteration of the title will have a host of graphical improvements, while the gameplay looks to have evolved noticeably. For conscientious objectors, there’s always Divas on Ice 
TideGear’s Pick: Who am I going to call? It would seem I have few choices other than Ghostbusters: The Video Game. The game does intrigue me so that’s my pick. I’m also interested in America’s Army 3 and Flower, Sun and Rain but I’m less confident I’ll enjoy them.
DE, you didn’t give Ghostbusters the nod?!?!
Busting makes me feel good. On PS3 as that was the lead platform.
Wheres the busters on PSP? I thought this was coming out?!?!
I’ll try AA, played a lot of the first one.
DE, you warmonger, LOL!
Might get GH: Smash Hits.
Ghostbusters for 360.
Let’s Tap sounds different and could be fun.
Flower, Sun and Rain, maybe.
Thanks for the GB info, I really didn’t know about the DS version. Now, I might have to pick that up as well!
AA3.
No Ice Divas for me, Deagle! I got a kick out of that.
So it’s still free?
Nothing for me this week.
Guitar Hero Smash Hits
What the hell is Flower, Sun and Rain?
Flower, Sun and Rain is SUDA 51. You guys need to rep this!
I think DE is secretly going to slip into something metallic and play Ice Divas.
Money says TideGear will pick Flower, Sun and Rain. I’d bet $25 on it, any takers?
No way would I take that bet! I love my money too much.
Got AA3 preloaded on Steam.
I thought I’d post this before someone asks:

guitar Hero Rehash Edition
GH Smash Hits might be worth picking up if you have the instruments already.
Ghostbusters PS3
I’ll be picking up “Find another job so I can buy games”
Does it support drums, mic and bass? If so, pick up for me.
GHOST-BUSTERS!!!
That is all.
Sing it, brother!
I’ll be getting the same.
I might have to get Rock Band Unplugged for the PSP after reading the review.
I want Ghostbusters, but I’m going to have to pass at $60.
I got a sneak peak at this one and it looks really cool!
What titles will you review this week?
I’ll pick up Ghostbuster this week.
How come Tide and NOLA are always LTTP? DE, you should get some others to offer picks. HINT, HINT!
Cute little site.
What’s LTTP?
Nothing for me this week.
Desert, you’re a right-wing Nazi fascist.
Thanks for the info.
I’m really interested in Ghostbusters for the 360.
Sir, America’s Army 3, sir!
Call me crazy, but Big League Sports: Summer might get my money.
Is SeanNOLA on vacation or what?
Guitar Hero Cash Cow Edition seems like its worth renting (mainly because i miss GH2 setlist >_<) , also I'm definitely excited for America's Army 3!!!!
I really can’t wait to get my hands on Ghostbusters. One more paycheck.
Ah, Ghostbusters is sure going to bring me back.
