Atari Confirms Ghostbusters Release Date

Confirming Sony's leak earlier this week, Atari has officially announced that their upcoming movie-inspired Action title, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, will begin shipping to stores across North America on June 16th and everywhere else on June 19th. For those of you unfamiliar with the game, here's a brief description courtesy of the press release:

In addition to Aykroyd and Ramis, original Ghostbusters Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson lend their voices 2051 and in-game likenesses to the original story set two years after Ghostbusters II, with Manhattan once again overrun by ghosts and supernatural forces. The player joins up as a new recruit with the original team, testing a variety of unique equipment and gadgets, to track, wrangle and trap this wide range of awe-inspiring phantasms in an all new funny and frightening battle to save New York City from its latest paranormal plague.

Looks promising. Can't wait to get some hands-on time with it! :)
