In reviewing the new Ghostbusters game on iOS from Beeline Interactive and Capcom, I had the enlightening dilemma of answering a thoroughly unimportant question. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t like the Ghostbuster movies? Although the ’80s throwback response would be “obviously no,” the actual answer isn’t so clear cut. Most people like the movies, some people love them but I couldn’t find anyone who hated them.

But they understood this following was dwarfed by the vast majority of the market who just enjoyed the movies for what they were and fancied a bit more Slimer!

So, newly released on the App Store comes the much anticipated Ghostbusters game on iOS. Before I start, it’s free, so download it now if you have any…
