  Ghostbusters: A PS3 timed exclusive in Europe

  Okay so as pre-release deals go, this one seems to be a little shady. Sony have acquired timed exclusivity for the Pal release of Ghostbusters: The Video Game, an Atari published game. What this effectively means is that the Sony platforms will expect the game to be released on the original release date of 19/06 but on the 360, DS, PC it will be out later in the year.

  Obviously this kind of agreement between Atari and Sony doesn't come for free, and is benificial for both companys staggering the release date so that is spikes nicely for a sales quarter boost. This agreement co-insides nicely with the BluRay release of Ghostbusters worldwide on the 19/06. But is the extra money really worth risking the wrath of all 360 gamers in Europe? Especially when the rest of the world will be enjoying the next chapter in the Ghostbusters universe on whatever platform they wish, while us lucky, lucky people get to eat a nice piece of Synergy pie. Thanks Sony!

  Gaming Goodness Update

  Hey guys, just a quick update to make you aware of some content on my own blog, Gaming Goodness

  This week we have reaction to Gamespot's interview with Batman visionary Paul Dini, coverage of Guild Wars 5 year anniversary, insights into Virtual On, and some excellent Left 4 Dead modifications. If you are a fan of Randy Savage or Pee-wee Herman (lets face it who isn't), this week is definitely worth a look.

  Speaking of Left 4 Dead, me and my buddies online are absolutely getting our butts handed too us by the A.I. We can only last a max of four minutes on the lighthouse level, it would be funny if it wasn't so embarressing. Thank god there is a new Burnout update to get our teeth into this week, cops and robbers offers something completely different to the previous game types and crucially its really fun.

  New blog double at Gaming Goodness

  Just wanted to give a quick summary of whats new at Gaming Goodness. We have a new feature about Bioshock 2: A Sequel you don't need to worry about, and an editorial about my own personal excitement surrounding Dynasty Warriors:Gundam 2. Absolutely worth a look if you ask me, trying to get as many hits in one day, help a British gentlemen out would you?

  
  Speaking of British Gentlemen Henry Hatsworth is the best puzzle merger since Puzzle Quest, its the best game I have played on the DS for an absolute age.
