A few things to talk about this week..
Ghostbusters Announced
I would usually care less about movie licensed games, mainly because they almost always suck. Despite this, I have hope that Ghostbusters the video game will surprise me. For one, it's being written and voice acted by Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis, and several other members of the original cast. Even cooler, it will take place in 1991, just after the second movie. Co-op play has also been announced. Really it's the closest thing fans are going to get to Ghostbusters 3, and just look at that awesome screenshot.
Wii continues to crush the other consoles in sales. Guitar Hero III a monster.
The October NPD is in, and it looks like Nintendo is back on top. Proving that even Halo 3 can't stop the Wii from being the #1 selling console. The PS3 is in real trouble. Let's hope that price drop makes things a little easier for Sony. In software GHIII managed to sell over a million copies total in a week. The Wii version even outsold the PS2 version. A sign of times changing? The PS3 version, didn't even make the top 10.
