AICN Games: Who They Gunna Call?? GHOSTBUSTERS Need Your Help!!


Greetings humans, Monki here with a very very short update from the new and improved treehouse. Unfortunately there won't be a full wrap-up this week due to the fact I am actually leeching off someone's wireless in my new treehouse apartment complex.

I have so many toys and so little internet! How am I supposed to whoop up on more folks in Vegas? Speaking of which, thanks for everyone who sent me their gamertags. It's nice to see my gamerscore was higher than everyones except for one guy who had the easy 1000 playing King Kong. (Note to self, add to GameFly queue.)

Alright, all that being said, expect a full-to-the-gills Weekly Wrap-Up sometime by the end of this week. Along with that I'm finishing up my Q&A with a producer from Fullmetal Alchemist and I'm just this close to launching a cool as hell contest with some sweet prizes. Here's a hint, get your crayons and brushes ready.

Before I go though I need to share some love and send a call out to all my fellow gamers and geeks alike. Ghostbusters are in trouble, who are they gunna call? Uhm...online petition! Of course.

As you've probably read/heard by now a European company named Zootfly released to Youtube some videos of a proof-of-concept of a Ghostbusters title for the 360. Hopefully you've already seen those videos because they are completely gone, wiped from Youtube along with any reference of the Ghostbusters title from Zootfly's website. Zuul and his/her minions must have gobbled them up in a high rise apartment refrigerator or something.

For some odd reason Sony and the other holders of the Ghostbusters IP didn't want their pitches up on the net. It seems as though now the in-progress title is as dead as Viggo and his little puppy.

What can WE do you may ask, right now there is an online petition to Sony and all the owners of the IP to save the Ghostbusters. Sign it here. As of me writing this there are around 755 signatures. AICN Gamers unite!! With our combined forces we can push that number up in the thousands, or at least we can create Captain Planet. (Quint loves being 'Heart' and Merrick is definitely an 'Earth' kind of guy.)

We'll probably never see another Ghostbusters movie, but there is a fighting chance to see a game in the not-too-distant future. I think console technology has gotten to the point where a Ghostbusters game could be done justice. Why not now? Why not here? Why not yes?

So, go sign the petition with a smile and share with others.

Oh, really quick, for those of you in the Austin area, Spike and Mike is currently running at the Drafthouse downtown and featured in the compilation of insane shorts (including BNAT favorite 'Chirpy') is the totally fucking awesome 'Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006.' (Thanks to Beeslo for providing the correct title since I don't have accessible internet here.) Classic 'Die Hard' arcade style done with evil babies and yes men. Sweeeet. Anyway, check it out.

Okay, stay tuned this week for that Fullmetal Alchemist Q&A and again for the really for real Wrap-Up. Until then, back up the tree I go!

-Monki
