'Magnet School: Tossology
Anything Else? � Well, I guess you could always just play Puzzle Bobble, Breakout, and Ikaruga while listening to the Ghostbusters theme? Seriously, though, while no similar game I know of combines such a disparate set of features as Ghostlop does, there are plenty of other quality entries in the �brick breaker�, �shmup� and (of course) �toss puzzle� genres to satisfy you if you�re in the mood for something a bit less amalgamated.

About BulletMagnetone of us since 9:04 PM on 10.04.2008
Thanks kindly for paying my blog a visit.
I'm currently looking for paid writing gigs, so if you might want anything written shoot me a message (craighats at hotmail dot com).
In case the contents of this blog don't make it obvious enough, I have something of an affinity for slightly "offbeat" titles, so if there's something out there that few others cover, there's a fair chance I'm at least somewhat up on it.
If there's any sort of (reasonable) inquiry you'd like me to address, please don't hesitate to be in touch.
Below are a handful of recaps and other links (oldest listed first by section), in case you're interested - asterisks mark promoted articles.
