Ghostbusters: The Video Game
-
Who you're gonna call?
From IGN:
Ghostbusters reboot is entirely its own beast featuring a mix of management, driving, and specter-blasting gameplay styles. Its developers like to describe it as "X-COM light." If you haven't played X-COM, it's a classic, tactical PC game that splits its time between managing bases/personell and isometric combat. A big difference, though, is that action unfolds in real-time in Ghostbusters, whereas it was turn-based in X-COM.
By performing your civic duty and making house calls you earn skill points and moolah. From what we can tell there are loads of skills for the 'Busters to learn and equipment to be bought. The skills have been tailored to each character. You will also earn slime from the ghosts you catch, which can be used to research new equipment like a Slime Gun.
In between missions you'll receive calls for side quests which you can accept or ignore -- but ignoring too many will damage your reputation.
The game is presented in a top-down view but environments and characters have been rendered in 3D. Music from the films will accompany your adventures, but none of the voice work from the console games is included. This is partly due to the limitations of the DS and also because this game is its own product with a unique storyline. While players step into the proton pack of a new recruit on the consoles, here we'll be controlling the original Ray, Peter, Egon, and Winston.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game is scheduled for release in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the first film, which will be June 2009. -

Ace Attorney? I've finished all four games already.
You know that they're coming out with a new one starring Edgeworth and Gumshoe?

Nopes.
The Phoenix Wright trilogy was originally made for the GBA. Apollo was the first one made specifically for the DS.
But seriously, get PW2 and PW3 if you can. The storyline rocks.
