Ghostbusters Picked Up by Atari

I just read that Ghostbusters: The Video Game that was due out last October and delayed because of an Activision buyout was picked up by gaming giant Atari for distribution.

The new rumor is that the game will come out sometime during the summer of 2009 with the 25th anniversary of the original film.

The footage that's floating around online of the game looks amazing and I, for one, can't wait to do some bustin'!

For those unfamiliar with the game, the gist is this. It's based on a story written by original writers Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis. The voices of the original Ghostbusters cast have returned to voice the game. It's essentially Ghostbusters 3 as the story takes place after the second film.

Here's a cool gameplay video for your viewing enjoyment...
