Image In mid-January, less than ten minutes of videogame footage appeared on YouTube and set the internet aflutter. The handful of clips in question seemed to suggest that a new Ghostbusters game was in development for the Xbox 360 and, within a few hours, everybody was talking about it.
As concrete details slowly started to emerge, a strange picture took shape: ZootFly, a small Slovenian development house, admitted that it was responsible for the footage, that it came from a short prototype it had running, and that it didn't actually own the IP rights to the licence. Despite such a shaky bargaining position, ZootFly had understood one thing perfectly: the lasting appeal of the right game licence.

WTMG's Todd Eggleston: "Ghostbusters The Video Game is nostalgia done right, and puts you right back in 1984. It isn’t a masterpiece of a game, and neither was the movie, but it reminds us again that it is ok for entertainment to just be entertaining. It is a game that deserves to be remastered and remembered. And 35 years later, it also serves to remind us that a remaster doesn’t always need to be Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott. Sometimes, Ray Parker Jr. is exactly who you need to call."
