We're proud to announce version 3.0 of GhostControl Inc. This is a major upgrade to the game with great new features which further enhance the play and game strategy as well as many minor improvements. With the new exploding items you might choose to shoot at a TV set to damage nearby ghosts when it explodes, great if they are hiding behind it, but remember you will have to pay for the damage when you finish the job! You can see a complete list of the new features and improvements below.
