"This one kinda hits it close to home. It’s not uncommon for an artist to get the short end of the stick in the industry. But, every time it does happen, it’s really disappointing. The latest in such situations deals with the recently released "Ghostbusters" on the Wii. If you hadn’t noticed, it uses a stylized take on the famed characters instead of trying to replicate the look of the HD versions of the game. The Wii’s style was inspired by an independent artist by the name of Dan Schoening. His Ghostbusters renditions laid the foundation for the Wii’s stylized look.

Ghostbusters The Video Game (Review)

June 18th, 2009 No Comments   Posted in New Wii Games - Reviews

The dreams of thousands, nay, millions of twentysomethings came true recently. Despite delays, a publisher change and a few holdout actors, the Ghostbusters are back, two decades after their last film. And while the PS3 and 360 get the more lifelike and filmic interpretations of the foursome, Wii owners get a version that, while trimmed, at least tried a little harder than most Wii games to be something special. …

It’s rather crummy that Atari is forcing the DRM on us PC gamers, while also giving us the stripped down version – no online multiplayer co-op (or any online activities at all!) and no downloadable content for the PC version – while PS3 and Xbox gets it all! Apparently Atari forgets that PC gaming INVENTED those features!"
