Review – GhostControl Inc.

February 16th - via: cliqist.com
Ghostbusters was one heck of a movie that left an indelible impression on me when I watched it at a local drive-in theater. Since then, I’ve looked everywhere for the perfect Ghostbusters game – but none exist! At least, everything that was ever expressly created as a spinoff paled in comparison to what my mind conjured up for a fun experience. Then, the GhostControl Inc. Kickstarter popped up and I almost lost my mind. Would this be the game I had been hoping for after all this time? (Read More)

Kickstarter Katchup – June 30th 2013

June 30th - via: rockpapershotgun.com
Last week I was at Rezzed instead of looking at Kickstarter pages but I’ve made up for it by spending most of today browsing through projects. Thoughts of Kickstarter’s purpose have been hanging in the air (on twitter and in chatrooms that I frequent) and I have been pondering how I see the site. I have backed projects knowing that I’m essentially pre-ordering something that I assume will be released and will be as expected, based on the team’s previous work and a comfortable place in a familiar genre. But I mostly back smaller projects that I want to support and to play because they are different, risky and challenging. There’s a great deal of innovation among the nostalgia. (Read More)
