GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE

  • You've seen the film, watched the cartoon, even read the comic, and now you can play the computer game! The Real Ghostbusters are coming to exorcise your neighbourhood. And we've got EXCLUSIVE details about this chartbusting licence.
  • Parlez vous francais? Well neither do we, but we've been talking (in English!) to up-and-coming French software house, Ubi Soft. Their next epic game is Iron Lord - we've got EXCLUSIVE news and a brilliant pull-out poster... just pour vous.
  • CRASH reader Steven Martin didn't know what he was in for when he won our Spitting Image competition. His prize was to be immortalised in latex, by the famous puppetmakers themselves. Mark Caswell went along to see how it was done.
