Unfortunately, most Ghostbuster video games suck. So when it was announced that a new game, WITH the original cast, was in the works? Well, I lost my freaking mind. I think this game is fan service cranked up to 11. You get to join the Ghostbusters, use a proton pack, hang out at the firehouse, and catch ghosts. Janine is there. Walter Peck shows up. You fight Stay Put, for fuck sakes!!!! I don't think the game under the Ghostbuster makeup is as good as it could be, but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. When you wanna talk Ghostbusters, who ya gonna call?? My buddy Daniel. We both adore what this game means to the Ghostbusters community, but we also both think it could have been a little better from a gameplay perspective. And how the hell are you not gonna let us drive the Ecto-1?! And before we get to bustin', I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks which gaming magazine I'd read, renew, and remove? Which video game character would make the best Canadian Prime Minister? And why don't I like Retronauts?? Plus we play a round of 'Watch One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 games based on movies: Spider-Man 2, The Warriors, and Goldeneye 007. Learn more about your ad choices.

Comedian Adam Blank invites you to pull up a chair for Remember The Game? Retro Gaming Podcast. This isn't a dry recap of release dates or technical specs. Instead, each episode feels like cracking open a time capsule with a friend. Adam and a guest choose one title from their past-a cartridge they rented a dozen times or a disc that defined a summer-and just talk about it. The conversation meanders through personal memories, the sheer joy of discovering a hidden level, the frustration of a cheap boss fight, and the unmistakable music that’s still stuck in their heads decades later. You’ll hear the laughter and camaraderie that comes from shared, albeit sometimes very specific, experiences. The goal of this podcast is to capture that specific feeling of being a kid again, trading secrets by the lockers or arguing about which game was truly the best. It’s less about critique and more about connection, built on a foundation of pixels and nostalgia. Tune in for a warmly familiar, often hilarious chat that celebrates the games that shaped us, one deeply personal and wonderfully digressive story at a time.

Anyone that grew up in the "video game rental" era (that some of you didn't makes me feel old as fuck) remembers renting some mediocre game again and again. And for me and my bro, one of those games was Jaws for the NES.
