Some of you, by now, must have seen these videos circulating on YouTube already – they’re of a seriously, super-duper impressive Ghostbusters mod of either the Gears of War engine, or the Source engine. Now, I’m a huge fan of Ghostbusters, and I’ve been one since I first set eyes upon the movie when my dad bought a VHS of the movie in the early 90s – and yes, as a fan, I bought and played all the games.

You know how it is when you’re a little kid, though. Games like Battletoads seemed like completely reasonable games, despite their obvious flaw of being quite literally impossible to beat.

However, growing up as a gamer (and specifically, a Nintendo fan), I’ve watched the franchises I love evolve and mature into beautiful, classic games. Now that TMNT is heading back to the screen, all that’s left in my mind is good ol’ Ghostbusters.

That’s why, after watching the videos of an obviously fan-made mod, I fell so in love with the concept. The fact that Ghostbusters is made so eloquently in a third-person Gears-type game model is just making me slobber in anticipation for whatever the crap this is. Rumor is, however, that the game’s a concept conjured up by European-based level 10 wizards ZootFly.

Please, God. If you’re listening, make a new Ghostbusters game.
