Ghostbusters was one heck of a movie that left an indelible impression on me when I watched it at a local drive-in theater. Since then, I’ve looked everywhere for the perfect Ghostbusters game – but none exist! At least, everything that was ever expressly created as a spinoff paled in comparison to what my mind conjured up for a fun experience. Then, the GhostControl Inc. Kickstarter popped up and I almost lost my mind. Would this be the game I had been hoping for after all this time? (Read More)

Last week I was at Rezzed instead of looking at Kickstarter pages but I’ve made up for it by spending most of today browsing through projects. Thoughts of Kickstarter’s purpose have been hanging in the air (on twitter and in chatrooms that I frequent) and I have been pondering how I see the site. I have backed projects knowing that I’m essentially pre-ordering something that I assume will be released and will be as expected, based on the team’s previous work and a comfortable place in a familiar genre. But I mostly back smaller projects that I want to support and to play because they are different, risky and challenging. There’s a great deal of innovation among the nostalgia. (Read More)

Here we are, E3 2013 is off and running, but we’re taking a bit of time off the information overload to point out some great Kickstarter crowdfunding opportunities. This week we have two distinctly different games that speak to the child in all of us. The first one is covered in ectoplasm and the second invokes fond memories of stars and foxes. Money showers should probably fall on both of these projects, because let’s face it, they rock. (Read More)
