20 Something Gamer

Trust me on this one, I've seen dozens of great movies, and I've seen almost all of them turned into games that stink worse than my co-workers farts. No matter how great the source material is, they always seem to do a quater assed job of it.

They make these games on a very small budget as to maximise their income. People will flock to game stores to get these games just because they enjoyed the movie.

And they will keep producing these crappy games so long as you buy them, so I beg of you, stop flooding the Top 10 charts with games that REALLY do not belong there.

OK, rant over.

Now, as with any rule, there are exceptions, In this case I'd like to talk about GhostBusters: The Game, now this... this... is how movie games should be made, great gameplay, the proper voice actors, and not some cheap sound alike and no quotes from the movie on loop, that drives me loopy that last one.

Set after the events of GhostBusters 2, you play Nameless Rookie, hired as the teams Expertiment Equipment Tester, cause the rest are to valuable to the team to try it themselves.

Soon after your induction, ghosts start to appear all over New York, some of them bringing back some bad memories for the GBs. And using your experimental backpack, you and the GBs do what they do best, capture the ghosts and 'accidentally' cause damage along the way.

The capture system, can be a bit confusing at the start, using 3 of the shoulder buttons a the same time to perform a successfully capture, but after about 5-10 ghosts, you'll get the hang of it.

I haven't played much of the game yet, so far I've only clocked up about 2 hours, but from what has happened so far, the rest of the game will be amazing.

Who ya gonna call... Work, and tell them your sick.

NB. Ive only played the PS3 version, so I'm not sure how the Wii version matches up, with its different graphics and gameplay, If you have played it, leave it in the comments or submit a video for 20something TV.

Posting should be back to normal come September.

I'm still going to do more posts on E3, but this'll cover the ones I don't do.

One of the GBA's greatest rpgs is finally back for a third outing. Graphics are at DS standard, not much to see about game play.

The playable characters are the direct descendants of the original Golden Sun games.

Making a return are the Elemental Djinns, and with them, the Summons.

Due 2010

Mr Nintendo is back.

Level design is a good as you'd expect from a Mario game. With more power ups than ever before, including (as show in the video) Helecopter Jumpsuit, for a boost when jumping, and the Penguin Suit, for throwing balls of ice that freeze enemies one the spot, even in mid-air, which can then be used as platforms.

Up to four players can team up, (whether its only online or if you can get four people at home to play, in not sure), and play though the main game. Which, and correct me if im wrong, will be the first console mario game where you can do this .

Due Christmas 09.

Here we have Link, in his Greens and I'm guessing a Hyruilan Shield, but no sword! And who or what is this strange creature behind Link. I might be crazy, but It kinda looks like the Master Sword come-to-life. Cool

Due 2010.

The Lost Frontier is looking good, from what I can see, It's going leaving the racing genre behind and getting back to its roots... well, its Jak 2 routes anyway, and thats great. Though, I am still upset that its on PSP and PS2 instead of PS3, but I guess there is still hope.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't sound like Mike Erwin's Jak.

BTW, this is the first I've seen of the new PSP, and to be honest, I think the original looks better.

Video first, then my opinion:

OK, its just a teaser trailer, and there isn't any footage, but it's MGS, so its bound to be awsome.

I really like the R&C series, but for some reason, I haven't been following the developement of the new game.

As per the usual for Ratchet and Clank games, the levels are looking vibrant and colourful, the weapons are looking hilarious (Sonic Eruptor FTW), and the enimies are looking big.

Hopefully, this game is going to come in a box, cause I really don't want to wait 8 hours for it to download, like Quest for Booty did.

Here it is, the E3 demo for Assassins Creed 2. 

I don't know if flying will be something you can do outside of missions, or if they only appear when there is a job to do. I'm impressed with the fact you can steal weapons from the people you are fighting, (I believe the only other game that happens in is Shadow of Rome on the PS2, good game, you should try it), also now the guards check your hiding spots, its not as easy to evade when you are being chased, but with the, what I'm calling, Kill-From-Hiding (great name, I know), that kinda negates it.

By the way, in not the only one who thought "Double-Kill!" when he knife the guards right?

I've pre-ordered my copy from play.com, and now I have to play the waiting game, or Fallout 3 until 13/11/09.

Oh, speaking of which, Play.com has "Strictly" Limited edition of the game for £69.99.

Here is what you get:

Lego Harry Potter will be split into 2 games the first featuring years 1 to 4 and the second featuring 5 to 7.

The teaser trailer can be found here

Also to be recreated in Lego is the awesome Rock Band (If they re-name it Block Band I'll throw up) the teaser trailer can be found here

I'd post the videos here myself but they don't seem to have and embed option, so links will have to do.
