The less I know about the story, the better, but I suspect the final boss fight will make or break the game for me.

The giant ghost of the 80s?

Seriously hoping the original theme song is preserved and not some 'cover' or 'remix' put in place.

From now until forever I won't be able to watch that animation without hearing the victory fanfare from Shut Up and Jam GaidenSuper Mario RPG - Rawest Forest Remix.  For some reason.

Activision shelves Ghostbusters and Brutal Legend

That's it.  Activision have just blown EA away in the "who's the more evil company" competition.  If EA picks up either game, I'll lift my self-imposed ban on buying their games.

That's an... odd decision considering all the hype surrounding both games.  If it's true and unqualified I'd have to count Activision as less "evil" and more "allergic to money".

Granted, it's Activision.

EDIT: Reading up a bit more it seems to be that they're basically killing all of Vivendi-Sierra and taking over its franchises.  So, yeah, neither evil nor stupid, just beuraucratic.

I'm not one to lightly throw around allegations of homosexuality, but that leg scissor grab/slam is the gayest thing ever.

Here is an example of some of the creative ways players can string together Superman's specials.

He shoots a dude with heat vision.

And then kicks him!

Also no way Batman's gonna get punked by Mr. Freeze Sub-Zero like that.

Seems like all the MK guys still have their (T-rated) fatalities, while the "killing is kind of a bad thing" DC heroes get brutalities - instead of actually killing the guy they just beat the shit out of him way more than is really necessary.  Hooray.

I still like that "Superman grabs Scorpion and smashes him through like six walls" bit.

And all of us who were children of the 80s take a collective sigh of relief, as we will be able to toast a ghostly marshmallow with nuclear backpacks.

Yeah someone and I can't remember who, told me yesterday that Ghostbusters was "canned" as in, not coming out anymore. I want to slap that person in the face because losing your publisher when the game is pretty much finished does not mean your game isn't coming out. Especially when you are making a licensed game about the Ghostbusters that fucking Ray helped write dialog for.

Er, it does in a lot of cases.

That's where this is different, though.

Yeah, Activision certainly didn't kill those games, but they definitely jeopardized them.  I hope people start throwing eggs at their booth at PAX this year.

Spore going gold soon.  Only three years after everyone expected it.

Dicks in Spore makes news.

Quote
But scrolling through the database -- past the three-legged sea horse, past the seven-eyed wildebeest and the half-motorcycle-half-pig -- revealed something many users didn't expect. Buried among the more wholesome attempts were two-legged dancing testicles, a "giant breast monster" and a four-legged "phallic fornication machine," for starters.

If by "didn't expect" they mean "anticipated for three years", then yes.  Unless "many users" have pudding for brains.

Seriously hoping the original theme song is preserved and not some 'cover' or 'remix' put in place.

When they were doing focus group testing, this was brought up. They suggested the idea that instead of doing the original theme, they'd have a modern band remix or cover it.

The person who suggested that was booed out of the room
So yes, they are keeping the good old Ray Parker Jr version.
