AKA: Ghostbusters III The world is eagerly dreading the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot, which takes the beloved series in an exciting new direction by stripping it of the jokes and charm. A planed third instalment of the original series never came together, mostly because Bill Murray had less than zero interest in making it, and when Harold Ramis sadly passed away any hope of it happening was dashed. That said, a third instalment technically did happen with Ghostbusters: The Video Game in 2009, when most of the cast even Murray reunited for a story set a couple of years after Ghostbusters II. The player takes control of a rookie while he fights alongside the original crew, and the plot connects directly to the original. The game itself is gorgeous to look at, and is packed with more fanboy easter eggs than some kind of really large easter egg factory. The gameplay itself is a bit clunky; wrestling ghosts into the trap can be a needlessly drawn out ordeal, and the AI partners constantly need to be revived. The comedy is also stale compared to the movies, but as a final instalment of the original series fans owe it to themselves to give it a try.
