Bustin' Makes Me Feel Good!

It may well be that the extended break forced upon the Ghostbusters game did a whole world of good. While the physics and tech demos looked solid enough to satisfy me as a Ghostbuster fan, I could see how a casual gamer may pass it up.

The boys and girls at Terminal Reality deserve a pat of the back. They really spit-shined this baby into something legitimate. The style's much more prevalent as the rich colors really stand out and allow for the writers to excel with playing at offbeat comedy combined with moderate scares.

It's also the first time we really get to see Ray, Egon, Winston, and Spengler in action, all voiced by the original actors. As it stands, the following video doesn't just look like a hell of a fun game, but a bona fide Ghostbusters 3 trailer.

Check Me Into Arkham Asylum

The following is a teaser for the Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is set to come out next year.



Paul Dini, creator of the classic Batman: The Animated series is writing the story. Additionally B:TAS vets Kevin Conroy (Bruce Wayne/Batman) and Mark Hamil (The Joker) will reprise their roles for the game.

As both an avid comic book fan and a gamer, I think this could shape up to be a unique superhero gaming experience. The best we've had is the free roaming in Spider-Man's adventures, but there's such a breadth of material and experiences out there. We haven't even scratched the surface.

This may be DC's first great game. Although, with DC's track record, even a good game will look positively glowing in comparison.

I often suffer epileptic flashbacks of Superman 64. I have my good days and my bad days, but the medication helps.
