I'm not really a video game reviewer...but then this isn't really a game review.
A while ago I did a post where I mentioned that at first I thought I'd be able to hang with my sleeping baby and play some Wii.
Yada yada...I bought Ghostbusters: The Video Game
for Wii. I was attracted to the game because it had the original actors in it and Aykroyd and Ramis, who wrote the films, helped to write the story.
I popped it in my Wii yesterday and started to play...here's how gameplay went.
Step one: Disc goes into the console.
Step two: Miloh starts crying because he has a wet diaper.
Step three: Change said diaper and get back to the game.
Step four: The game starts out in the Ghostbusters' firehouse with little introduction to how the gameplay works. It takes some getting used to because you use the remote and not the nunchuk to look around. It tells me to check out the car.
Step five: Miloh cries because he wants to be bounced and have pacifier...so we bounced and he got his pacifier.
Step six: Back to the game...I go upstairs and talk to the Ghostbusters' gang. They send me on a mission to that hotel in the original movie...more ghosts came back. Again there is a bit of a tutorial on how to do stuff. It's kind of fun and I get to blow stuff up.
Step seven: Miloh cries because he needs a bottle...so he gets fed.
Step eight: Save the game with practically no progress because I'm tired.
Conclusion: The graphics are cool...and the gameplay is fun. One of the things I don't like about some games is that you can finish them really fast. Given the experience I had yesterday I don't think I'll finish it any time soon...so that's good, right?
Anyway if you like video games you might want to check it out...it got some great reviews.
Oh and Gear Thursday won't be a weekly thing anymore, but I do have some good things I'm working on including a baby carrier round-up.

Love this post! And love your blog. My husband and I read you religiously, though he is way too cool to admit it. He tells everyone about the post you wrote on swaddling the cat, and he tried to swaddle me the other night with much the same results. And thanks for leaving us a comment. It made my day! Can't wait to read the next post.

*dread*....does this mean my PS3, PSP and Nintendo64 will grow dusty and creaky with non-use someday? How will an addict cope!?......(and will the husband be ok without his war games and zombie killings?)
