Thanks to Atari for picking up the Ghostbuster franchise, 2 new screens were leaked to the press.

While many of us thought Ghostbusters: The Video game was lost due to the release of Activision-Blizzard, Atari saw the potential. It seems that many developers only invest in games that have sequel potential ie. Guitar Hero etc. Coming to PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, DS and PS2 in 2009, the release will coincide with the Ghostbusters movie’s 25th Anniversary.

“Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a fantastic addition to Atari’s global line-up in 2009,” said company president Phil Harrison in a prepared statement today. “The title has built considerable anticipation and excitement among game fans.”

Ghostbusters The Game will be finished in 2009, thanks to Atari.

On a Dallas Radio Show, Dan Akryod has confirmed that Ghostbusters The Game is back in development, thanks to Atari, and should be finished in 2009.  He went on to say “The game is about a year away”.  So it looks like Halloween ‘09 will give a better picture of Ghostbuster’s coming to a console near you.  Maybe by then the long awaited rumor of Ghostbusters 3 will come true.

Who doesn’t want to put ‘mallow’ over everything? If you say I don’t I’m calling you crazy, kid. I got a fever, and the only “over-the-counter” prescription is ‘more mallow’. I say fire up your proton packs, be sure not to cross the beams, and shoot.

The full cast is back in Ghostbusters: The Video Game. The game’s storyline is being written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, the writers of the original films. They, along with Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson, will also lend their voices and likenesses to the game. Several supporting cast members, such as William Atherton (Walter Peck), Brian Doyle-Murray (as the new mayor of New York) and Annie Potts (Janine) have also signed on; however, Rick Moranis (Louis Tully) has refused to be a part of the game, explaining his reluctance to work after the death of his wife and being a single parent

Coming to PS3, X360, Wii, PC, DS and PS2.

Release Dates: September 26th for UK, October 28 for US
