]]> Who Ya Gonna Call? Ghostbusters! https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/xboxvoices/who-ya-gonna-call-ghostbusters Wed, 30 Mar 2011 10:22:18 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/xboxvoices/2011/03/30/who-ya-gonna-call-ghostbusters/

Every week, Xbox LIVE Arcade features great new games. For instance, this week it’s Rush’N Attack Ex-Patriot, Islands of WAKFU, and Strania. You can always download the free demo, then use your Microsoft Points account to download and play the full game. But what’s amazing to me is, Xbox LIVE Arcade does this EVERY single week. For instance, last week saw the release of Swarm and Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime. How can I find time to play these games? Heck, I’m still trying to earn my Level 50 in Full House Poker. So who ya gonna call? Well, not the Ghostbusters. In this instance, I asked Jet City Gamble to take a look at the new Ghostbusters game and see what he thinks. Check out his hands-on look at the game on the xbox.com site!
