   Much like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ghostbusters is also one of those once-fun childhood memories that I'd rather not revisit anytime soon. At least that's what I would have said yesterday, before one of our forum members dropped a tip about some new trailers that are currently making the rounds on YouTube. Apparently, they are showing what might as well be the prelude to an upcoming Ghostbusters game, although many other theories are also plausible at this point.

   Based on an early report from Ain't It Cool News, the videos are attributed to developer ZootFly, who was most recently credited with the Panzer Elite Action games (the Dunes of War add-on should be out soon). You can find all the trailers on bostjanzoot's public videos page - a name that can be easily linked to ZootFly's CEO, Bostjan Troha. So for now we're going to assume that this isn't just an elaborate hoax put together by some super-skilled fanboys.

   One thing that's apparent from one of the trailers is that the Gears of War (i.e. Unreal 3) engine could have been used in making this demo, and the final result is pretty impressive. Not entirely jaw-dropping, but it clearly has some potential. It may be just a prototype right now, but in due time we might get an official announcement involving all of the names listed above...

   Until then, there is still nothing known for sure about these Ghostbusters trailers, but you're more than welcome to join the rumor-mongers at Joystiq and Kotaku for some heated debates on this topic.
