Unwinnable

“Aim for the flat top!” I would shout as I fired my proton pack at my parent’s picnic table.

“All right, this chick is TOAST!”

I quickly threw out the trap, slammed my foot down to release the mechanism and turned my head so as to not burn out my retinas. I would then hastily retreat back to my makeshift Ecto-Containment Unit (a hand-made shelving unit built by my father, adorned with a masking tape label that read: ECU – DANGER: THIS IS A HIGH VOLTAGE LASER CONTAINMENT SYSTEM…thanks, Dad). I would then eat a Twinkie (coincidentally, like the proton pack, a Twinkie also has a half-life of 5000 years.) (more…)

Let’s say Ghostbusters: The Video Game was a Twinkie. Based on how much fun it is to play, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds. That’s a big Twinkie.

Read my review of Ghostbusters: The Video Game for the New York Daily News.

I interviewed Dan Aykroyd for the New York Daily News a couple months ago and he is really excited about Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Then he gave me a bottle of his Crystal Head vodka to make sure I wrote about it. Cheers Dan!
