    So I know everybody's currently obsesses with Pokemon Go but the new Ghostbusters movie has a tie-in game and it released today. YAY :slight_smile:lol:slight_smile:.

    Ghostbusters Video Game Launch Trailer Debuts

    Here's the launch trailer:

    Okay..? Oh, and also, it costs $49.99 :bang:. Yes, for a game that looks even worse than the movie it's based on (which is really saying something in this case) costs$49.99. And for $64.99 for you can get a special edition that includes the actual movie :bang::bang:.

    Honestly, to me, the movie trailer only looked like a typical bad reboot. And the game looks like a typical bad movie-game.

    But $49.99? Why?

    It looks like the classic based off of the hit movie kind of game. It looks like a really funny game with really bad glitches and errors.

    I'd give it a year or so and you can find this game for like 5 bucks or so. :lol:

    Aside from the stupid price point for a game like this, not counting the Lego games, I can't even remember the last time a movie tie in game came out. It also looks a lot like those shrek games for the PS2.

    You'd be better off hunting down the 360/PS3/PC game with the original cast. Even if it's just for the novelty of hearing Bill Murray in a video game.

    The only thing that seems worse right now is the Ghostbusters NES game.

    LEGO games never launch at full price these days, at least on PC.
