Ghostbusters The Video Game preview for the PC
Before Buffy was kicking the living crap out of vampires, and before Derek Acorah was first possessed by an angry child chimney sweep, the Ghostbusters were the hottest paranormal ticket in town. For no good reason other than the fact they can, Vivendi is resurrecting the franchise 23 years after the original movie starring Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver.

As in the movie duo, Ghostbusters the Video Game is set in a New York haunted by all manner of ghoulish enemies, including the iconic Slimer – a green hovering slobber monster with a twisted sense of humour.

You'll play a parapsychology professor on a mission to rid the city that never sleeps of a threat that's in a permanent state of slumber – that is to say, dead guys. But you won't be a member of the original cast. Instead you'll don the boiler suit of a raw recruit and have to get used to facing building-sized enemies with an array of weapons and gadgets which are yet to be revealed by tight-lipped publishers.
