I Ain't Afraid Of No Ghosts



 

The above video is apparently the opening cutscene for the new Ghostbusters Videogame that will be coming out on the X-Box 360 and the PS3.  The Wii, unfortunately, is getting some wacky animated looking version of the game, and for people who only own a Wii . . . I weep for you.

 

There's a lot to love in this opening cutscene.  First of all, the game is set in 1991.  It's back when the Ghostbusters are still at their prime, so you don't have to worry about them trying to make up some crappy explanation as to why the original Ghostbusters still look exactly the same in the year 2009.  Secondly, the game's story will have to do with a museum exhibit on Gozer the Gozerian, and you know that's just going to lead to trouble.  And lastly, was Peter Venkman's offhand comment about, "Franchises available soon" a sly nod to the much talked about new live-action Ghostbusters sequel?  One can only hope.
