Casual vs Hardcore game

As pointed out by Kotaku in a recent post, Ghostbusters the game is coming to PS3, Xbox 360 and the WII. Now something fairly unusual is that the next gen consoles (PS3 and Xbox) will get a scarier and more realistic version of the game when the WII will get a more cartoony, kids friendly facelift. It will be interesting to see which version sells the most. The cartoony casual looking version or the Hardcore one? I am betting on the WII side here but let see, that will be an interesting battle.

For month I couldn’t be bothered to create my own Xbox gamertag and kept using my flatmate one but this week after playing “Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise” for more than 6 hours, I decided it was time to get my own one. So here it is!
