Critics, miscreants, and five-year-olds have traditionally viewedGhostbustersas the greatest movie series outside ofRobocop. While both series have fallen victim of time and rumors, a ray of hope has appeared for aGhostbusterssequel. At a recent surprise engagement to promote his new movie, Bill Murray said that he was interested in a thirdGhostbustersmovie. The reason why? He had a great time recording the voice of his old character for theGhostbustersvideogame. Here’s an excerpt of the Q&A fromAin’t It Cool News: [Murray] also went on to say that his enthusiasm for Ghostbusters was heightened after recording the voice of Peter Venkman for the video game over the summer....

Somehow, the designers over at PlatinumGames (formerly Seeds) used their mindbullets to break into my brain and discover my secrets: If the premise of your unproven game is good enough, I will defend it to the death. It’s worked so far with Denis Dyack andToo Human, and the idea of a Miltonic showdown — demonswith gunfeetvs angels — is just too good to pass up. Consider me a fan, Platinum. Hook, line, and gory, bloody, beautiful sinker....

Unless by some cruel misfortune, you are not only blind, but deaf too, you already know that theHalo 3marketing blitz is in full effect. You’ve seen the commercials, tried the game’sofficial beverage, and you’ve even heard that one pesky EB Games employee constantly ask if “you want to preorderHalo 3, because, you know, it’s cool.” Now, Pontiac is going to help create more hype (is that even possible?) with its “First to Play” events....

“This is the biggest game and the best game that we have ever made,” Insomniac’s Ted Price told a room full of journalists of the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive,Resistance 2. Price admittedly is a bit biased when it comes to the quality of his studio’s games, but it certainly does have a long legacy of solid titles under its belt. From the PlayStation 1 platformer Spyro the Dragonon toRatchet and Clank— one of the defining franchises of the PlayStation 2 — Insomniac has consistently delivered impressive and imaginative titles....

The PlayStation Network showThe Testeris gearing up for its second season, and the full 12-gamer cast has been revealed. Yay? I encourage you all to read up onthe contestants’ bios, because they are equal parts goofy and absurd. Jonathan Ross, being his usual sassy self, wanted me to point out that one of the cast members goes by the name “Gaymer.” So, that happened. If Microsoft had its own show to recruit game testers, he likelywouldn’t be allowedon it....

Yesterday was the start of a new week, which means a new series ofMarvel vs. Capcom 2character spotlights. We’ve already seen videos ofRyu vs. WolverineandZangief vs. The Hulk; this week, the showdown is decidedly sexier: Jill vs. Storm. I don’t really know what else can be said aboutMarvel vs. Capcom 2after ten years, but these videos piqued my interest only because Jill is one of my favorite characters in the game....

What’s this? Vague hints aboutMass Effect 3? Sound the alarms! If I learned anything from yesterday’s rumor about thefranchise getting multiplayerin some capacity, it’s that you folks love to chat about this series — and beyond that, I love reading your thoughts, even if they are sometimesout of control. OXMcaught up with BioWare’s Casey Hudson, who you’ll probably recognize as BioWare’s main dude for all thingsMass Effect. He’s the guy who drops hints in interviews....

My holiday travels have been rough at best. Delays, snow, scheduling. Blah. The brightness in this dark time for me has been the upcoming Atlus releaseRadiant Historia,a new RPG for the Nintendo DS. They sent me preview code not to long ago, and I’m well into the game now, getting in as much as I can whenever I can. This is a good little RPG with a cool time traveling twist....

If this latest video forMercenaries 2: World in Flamesis anything to go by, Pandemic’s decision to delay the game was a brilliant one.Hit the play button to catch a glimpse of the fun to be had inMercenaries 2as lead designer Scott Warner takes us through one of the game’s missions using three different mercenaries, each with their own unique way of completing the objective.Besides the seemingly repetitious quick time events used during the hijacking sequences, there was nothing shown in the video that didn’t A) makeMercs 2look like pure, unadulterated fun and B) make me want to get my hands on the game immediately....

The world of a drug dealer is not something I’d ever imagine as videogame-friendly entertainment, butthat hasn’t stoppeddeveloper a-steroids from bringingDrug Lordsto the iPhone. At least, it used to be calledDrug Lords. Now it’s just calledUnderworld. Underworld is coming to the App Store as a free download, andpromisesthe type of fun-filled mirth that couldonlycome from being a scummy drug pusher, selling your stash to others in a multiplayer environment. Most disturbingly, the game uses the iPhone’s GPS system, allowing you to fully capture the experience of drug dealing from a real-life street corner and find other pretend dealers in the area....

[Destructoid’s Japanese correspondent, 50ft. Samurai, reports in onhow Capcom’s Bionic Commando is faring in Japan.] Bionic Commando, as you have heard, did not exactlyset the world on fire. Despite a lengthy development process and a good deal of publicity, the game tanked and the reviews were mediocre at best. Capcom probably wasn’t pleased that one of their games — aimed squarely at a Western audience — was so coolly received....

The San Francisco Wondercon starts tomorrow! The various members of theDtoidSanFrancisco groupare planning on attending the show this weekend and there’s a handful of videogame panels to be had.

Have you playedMachinarium? If not, you should do that. The game is amazing. I can’t wait to buy it (again) when itcomes out on WiiWare. In the meantime, I’ve got this appearance from Josef inSuper Meat BoyPC to tide me over. Josef replaces Alien Hominid’s slot from the XBLA version of the game, which is sad, but understandable. Somebody had to be cut, and while I love Alien Hominid, he’s hard as hell to use properly inSuper Meat Boy....
