Aykroyd confirms Ghostbusters picked up by Atari, 2009 release

Aykroyd confirms Ghostbusters picked up by Atari, 2009 release photo
     Xbox 360

Chatting it up with Dallas radio station 105.3 KLLI, actor Dan Aykroyd confirmed (via Kotaku) rumors that Terminal Reality's Ghostbusters title has been picked up for publishing by Atari. Aykroyd also mentioned that the highly-anticipated title is no less than "a year away" from being released. 

This jives with multiple sources of our own, all of which have confirmed the Atari publishing deal. Additionally, we've heard that the title will be given more love, and that Terminal Reality has been given the green light to continue work on the title, adding polish up to as late as May of 2009. 

While the Atari deal hasn't officially been announced, based on what we're hearing, an official reveal should be coming shortly. 

Also, busting makes me feel good.

I guess this isn't a credible source then:
http://game-releases.net/x360/ghostbusters-the-video-game/

since they seem to think it is coming out this month.

Atari!! NNNOOOOEEESSSS!!!!

I will hope and pray, but I fear my prayers will be answered in the same fashion as millions of the prayers of WWII.

Yes, that was a horrible thing to say, but I am indeed a horrible person.

....compared Atari to the Nazi Regime. That is kinda funny.

I listen to live 105.3 too and totally missed this. Good thing though cause I would have had to pull over to change my pants, which may have led to my arrest. Cannot wait for this game!
