I'm still very curious… why are they using the Wii as the central platform for the “multiplayer” experience? The 360 has the most robust multiplayer support of all 3 consoles… why relegate it to just the Wii?

Because Wii is next gen like the 360 and ps3 but doesn't have the graphics.

so by making 360 and ps3 Graphics and great single player and making wii have the multiplayer. It means Wii owners won't feel as cheated.

Most games give wii crap versions of 360 but they didn't and made it more of it's own game and not just a crap version of 360 and personally am very impressed for that and give them huge respect in doing that

Not only that, but usually its the PS2 games that get ported to the Wii, with this, its the other way around. Personally, I'm glad that they're using the Wii version as the multiplayer deal. Cause if they stuck with the 360 version, and it was online, it'd only be for the XBox Live Gold people.

*HA!! It's just come to my attention that Sierra already HAS one “Ghostbusters” game under it's belt:


Ghostbusters II — (1989) (Action) (DOS)

*It was made by a subsidiary of Sierra - "Dynamix":



From Wikipedia:

The Dynamix studio was closed by its parent company Sierra in August 2001, as part of Sierra's restructuring under Vivendi Universal.

*Still don't believe me?:

*Nope - That would be "LSP“, or ”Light & Shadow Productions"…

*From various sources:

Light and Shadow Productions (LSP) was founded in 1999 and acquired by Hip Interactive in February of 2004.

LSP started in 1999 and has since released numerous high-profile titles on all major platforms. Most of our products are based on very well-known properties from Dreamworks and other Hollywood companies.

Anyway, three magazines I got before Christmas, nothing fancy or world shattering:

Games Master Magazine



GamesTM Magazine



PC Gamer


Hopefully some more tidbits or photos to come from the magazines I didn't buy then, but plan to get tomorrow.
