But going back to the Ghostbusters game for iOS … The game is an ectoplasmic mix of real-time strategy, role-playing, and management gameplay.
And the game's first ever update challenges you to take on the role of a true Ghostbuster and strategize so that you may manage to survive the ultimate (at least for now) battle.

In addition to battling Stay Puft, Ghostbusters' first update lets you:
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 4.3 or later, the newly updated Ghostbusters is available as a freemium game in the App Store. It's slime time! Or more appropriately … It's marshmallow time! [gallery link="file" order="DESC"]
