Mere weeks from release, Sony has decided that the imminent Blu-Ray release of the original Ghostbusters films didn’t have enough of a marketing push, therefore they have thrown a hefty chunk of cash towards the as ever terminally-strapped-for-cash Atari. The result = Platform exclusivity for the PS3 & PS2 (with the PSP coming along later) […]
Eurogamer have posted an interview with Cyanide Games (Blood Bowl), discussing the prospect of drilling into the Nottingham based companies rich history of side-stories and alternative universes. “If Games Workshop continues to trust us, then sure, why not,” Cyanide’s Antoine Villepreux told Eurogamer when asked if the collaboration might continue. “They have got other ‘forgotten’ […]
