Long Ghostbusters script is long

If there was any doubt in your mind that theGhostbustersgame was going to be a good, well-rounded representation of the series, some recent news from Ernie Hudson (aka Winston Zeddmore) should put those doubts to rest. In an interview withvideogaming247, Hudson revealed that the script is about 480 pages long, four times that of an average movie script of 120 pages, stating further, “It’s huge. It covers every possibility.” Granted, 480 pages of garbage is still garbage, but with Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis behind the game’s content, the risk of a disappointing release seems minimal....

Mass Effect 3 will see all previous characters return

It is no secret that I am a massiveMass Effectfan and when an interview opportunity came my way, I simply couldn’t pass it up. BioWare boasted thatMass Effect 3will be the most epic storyline to date and the gameplay demo and trailer we saw at gamescom pretty much confirms it. In this interview, I took some time to chat about story, the new additions to the combat system — including weapon customization –and ask which characters will be making a comeback from previous games in the series....

Minecraft in 2D, you say? Terraria looks legit

“Terrariais like a 2DMinecraft,” reads an email in my inbox. I click it, and a heavenly light exudes from my monitor as I hunch increasingly closer to the screen in pure delight. I get the impression thatTerrariais so much more. It may not look it initially, but give the video a minute, and you’re able to see how the game veers in a surprisingly different direction. Check out that inventory screen!...

More X-Blades screens, still less clothing than is sensible

WithBayonetta,DarksidersandX-Bladesall on the horizon, my love of mindless combat-oriented games is about to get what it yearns for big time. Today, we have some more screens from the latter of that little list and, as you’re able to see, the main character still thinks that running around in her knickers is a suitable way to go into battle. Well, if she wants to show the skin, far be it from me to stop her liberating herself....
