Push Square: "Kick Fennick is like the bass player in a band: dependable but never destined for centre stage. There are some nice ideas here, but they take a little too long to warm up. Still, while it can be a bit finicky in places, we'd recommend giving it a shot even if you'll eventually get tired of it, and kick it out to touch."

GG: Recently there has been a resurgence in the local multiplayer scene, with PC leading the charge. Games like Nidhogg, ScreenCheat and SpeedRunners all successfully recreate that not-so-friendly couch competition that many of us grew up with. The latest addition to this friendship-destroying trend is ClusterPuck 99, a game which offers fleeting moments of joy, but lacks the minute-to-minute thrills of the genre's best.

, and it will feature "ghosts from the movies, cartoons, comics, and toylines."

Campaigns for the miniatures-focused game will take between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the difficulty selected. And the game's figures design comes from IDW Ghostbusters' comics illustrator Dan Schoening. But the game is still an officially licensed project, so you'll take on the familiar roles of Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman, and Winston Zeddemore, fight Slimer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and ride around in the iconic Ecto-1.

The Ghostbusters Kickstarter runs until March 11, but given the current funding amount, it looks like they're on track to hit the $250,000 goal way before that.

Cryptozoic is keeping it simple with pledge levels: $80 (plus shipping) will get you the base game plus stretch goals. The $125 (plus shipping) level includes the base game with a custom box, additional episodes, and some other backer-exclusives items.

The early bird discount pledges are already sold out, and the "retailer pledge" level, which includes six copies of the game, is only for verified game sellers.

The Ghostbusters board game is expected to ship this October, but Cryptozoic adds the caveat: "Please keep in mind that this is a projected date. As an experienced board game company, we at Cryptozoic know that unexpected delays can occur during the production and shipping of a game. ... In the highly unlikely event that we are not able to deliver the game for some unforeseeable, calamitous reason, we will refund all pledges."

Personally, I've already backed the game, and I'm curious to see what kind of stretch goals the developer puts together. But hopefully one option down includes the line is the glow-in-the-dark Slimer boss (which is currently just a retailer pledge exclusive) as an add-on for everyone.
