I so wanted to get Ghostbusters. But then I remembered Yahtzee's review...

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/811-Ghostbusters-The-Video-Game

If you read the extra punctuations the cheeky bastard didn't even finish ghostbusters, and he admitted it grew on him after the review. I bum yahtzee but he can be somewhat lacking in professional integrity at times. I will dig out the link sometime later.

I don't think he finishes most of the games he reviews.

I dunno how many he does and doesnt I was under the impression he finishes most but the most awful. You should always try though, in yahtzees case maybe he might find some more reserves of bile after forcing himself to the end and wishing for his hours of life back, but its his job and he gets paid so he can shut up and make me some more funny animations.

rip its 5 pounds right now i paid 7. The price is right. Some of the lines are awful like he says just block out the crappy moments and some of the jokes are good. But yeah at the end of the day the only reason to buy this is to roleplay a ghostbuster. Also you get a lot more new locations/ghosts etc late in the game as well as upgrades that reduce the rigmorole of trapping, and a lot of stuff you don't trap.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/6271-Extra-Punctuation-Overlord-2

"Ghostbusters actually got better later when it stopped doing the nudge-wink fan-wank thing and brought in new locations and concepts, like the alternate New York and the spider boss. But then I got to the cemetery level and the action became almost unplayably chaotic. Oh well! Also, on reflection, when I said the characters have been boiled down to smug wanky one-joke shallow dipshits (I'm paraphrasing obviously), I was mainly referring to Venkman. He needs to shut up. Shut up, Venkman."

Alternate new york is like mid game... I like his reviews and everything but I watch them as serious reviews don't like that he does this. I was playing cemetary on normal it was fine, just not the best level.

Don't do that! His thing is saying bad stuff about games. Look through his list. If you takes his reviews seriously, you nearly can't play anything anymore.
I played Ghostbusters and while it ain't very good, it is decent and worth the little money it costs now IMHO. It really picks up later on, somehow I felt even the characters got better later on, though I still don't understand why you simply don't pick one of the 4 at the beginning instead of bringing in a 5th silent ghostbuster Sad

So, Deus Ex. Worth buying? Will the graphics hold up at least to a bearable degree?

And I would also like to play a space flight shooter again, like X-Wing/Tie-Fighter or Wing Commander. Any recommandations? Is X2/X3 anything like that or is it more of a mission/trading/upgrading game with some occasional fights?

If you're bored of Deus Ex try the Malkavian Mod for a while. It'll make you either a) confused, b) look the game's plot look fairly good by comparison and c) laugh your head off if you're anything like me. Probably all 3.

Deus Ex is still excellent today (not finished it myself, nice reminder - I've got a save half way through) - the first part is actually very boring, once it opens up and the game allows you to do more then "die if you fight anyone" it is really fun, even if dated.

I'm still wary of buying anything on Steam however, I brought Overlord 1 and 2 on it though, but I prefer to find it cheap on a non-steam way, because I'm like that Wink
