I'm downloading the Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slim demo right now and may gameshare it. It just came out today on PSN and, I believe, XBL. I'll let you know how the demo (and maybe full game) play.

Sanctum of Slim was decent, but has the potential to be really good on 4 player online and shooting ghosts from the Ecto-1. And I gotta think that catching the bigger ghosts in the traps is probably pretty cool, though you don't get to that in the demo.

I also played the WWE All Stars demo as I used to watch it as a kid. It's surprisingly good. The demo has The Ultimate Warrior vs. Rey Mysterio. It's like a mix of fighting games and the old wrestling games. It should be pretty fun playing as some favorites like Andre the Giant or Superfly...

Just bought Crazy Taxi off of someone for $1. I already have it and Crazy Taxi II on Dreamcast, but the system has been broken since about the year 2000 and a combo NES/SNES is much higher up on my list of wants than a new Dreamcast.

Man I haven't played Crazy Taxi in a long-ass time. I loved the game when I was a kid.

I can't remember which is on my PSN buddylist you (tranny) or Banks. If you want, and have a PS3, you can borrow it for a while after I show it to Kaitlyn.

Crazy Taxi is such an awesome game. I imagine any kid would love it, how can you borrow games over the PSN?

It's on a dummy account and you can split those five times (the first one plus four more). Basically, in the past week, I found out you can do this for all but a handful of games: you create an extra account linked to a different email, buy a game, and sell 4/5 of it, meaning you get it for 80% off. When you're done, deactivate that account and sell the remaining share meaning you basically played the game for free.

So far, I've gotten: FFVII ($2), FFIX, Fat Princess + DLC ($4), Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slim ($2), and Crazy Taxi ($1).

So, if you want to borrow it, I just deactivate that account and give you the login info. You create another user and log in with that info and you can download it.

It's pretty cool, especially considering that Mass Effect 2 and Borderlands are on there.

I played the full version of WWE All-Stars on the XBox 360 today.

Two minor problems:

1. The finishing move and pinning controls are a little hard to figure out.

2. The opponent somehow does not get fatigued (as in, he keeps going after his red bar runs out) or stay weakened for more than a few seconds. However, it could be a possible reference to steroid use.

But anyway, it's not a bad fighting game. I played as Andre the Giant.

Compared to most finishing moves on fighting, wrestling, etc games, I thought it was quite simple... Just hold L1 + R1 and pin was L2. That was the PS3 demo, though. 360 is different?

It's similar but then again, I have a hard time working XBox controllers (for example: I can't understand why in Grand Theft Auto IV, the XBox controls are totally different than the PS3 controls).

Anyone up for a top games countdown? I've got a preliminary list of about 150 and climbing right now and plan on posting a top 100 even if no one else does. And it doesn't have to be a top 100 we can go Top 50, 20, 10, whatever.

It's hard to believe that you couldn't come up with ten games that you've enjoyed in your lives... lol
