| The Xbox One Uncertainty Principle: It Proves That We Can’t Ever Really Know What’s Going On |

It’s been an interesting past couple of days, that much is for sure. And it’s only going to get more interesting as E3 approaches. As many of you know, Microsoft officially introduced us to the Xbox 360 successor, which they have decided to call the Xbox One. Most of the introduction event was dedicated to what the Xbox One will be—an all-in-one entertainment system—and what kinds of new features it will offer. What they did not show much of was actual video games (saving that for E3 next month), and what they did not cover were the biggest questions potential customers wanted to know: will the new system block used games, and will it require you to always be connected to the internet to use it. The company has been peppered with questions since then, and though it sounded at first like the system would not always have to be on and used games would not be blocked, now no one seems to have a clue what’s truth and what’s still up in the air.

The New Ghostbusters #4 is the epic team-up that we never knew we wanted. The Ghostbusters team up with THE GHOSTBUSTERS!!! No, STILL not the ones with the monkey. Leave that alone, it’s never happening. But, we get something much, much better. Thanks to Erik Burnham, who’s mind came up with The New Ghostbusters, we finally get the two teams working together to stop a group of big bads that have been menacing them both since the last series. As usual, the writing is crisp, brisk, and full of laughs. What Burnham adds to this fourth installment is some really great character moments. Yes, he does that from time to time in the series, but this issue he gives it a new spin when The Ghostbusters are forced to team up with members of the OTHER Ghostbusting team. The result, is great. Most of the story takes place in the very creepy Parkview insane asylum, and that atmosphere is the perfect place for the climax of this story. Add to that a great ending, and an afterthought cliffhanger that you KNEW was coming, and you’ve got a really really well written issue.
