Ghostbusters Game Coming From Atari

Variety reported last week that Atari secured the rights to a Ghostbusters video game from Activision Blizzard, intending to publish something next year to coincide with the first movie's 25th anniversary. "The Ghostbusters game, which features all four actors from the original movie and a new script by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, is a follow-up to Ghostbusters II." Now, Eurogamer confirms that the game is indeed in development for the PC, PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360 and DS.

Awesome!

I was horrified to find that it had been dropped.

I'm really looking forward to the whole video-game-as-a-sequel-to-a-movie, and have high hopes since the original team have such an involved role in it.

Just remember -- don't cross the streams.

Yeah really, the writer's strike didn't affect games, who decided that the 80's were officially "it" this year again? There are plenty of decades that haven't been brought back every other year. The 1810s, for example.

Oh my

Hopefully it'll be better than the Atari 2600 [gametrailers.com] version! (starting at 5:30 of the video)
