Awhile back, we learned that Terminal Reality’s Ghostbusters was left off of the Activision Blizzard release schedule. Immediately, we were able to confirm through Sierra that the game was still in production. Now, it appears that Gamestop has lost the hope that we all had for the title and are beginning to notify customers that their Ghostbusters preorders are being canceled.
It’s an odd scenario, considering that the game is still alive and kicking. Nick got preview code for the game earlier this month. While the release date is still listed as “TBA,” there’s hardly an excuse for canceling preorders, especially considering that my Gamestop has an entire shelf dedicated to fake copies of the game. Also, there is no listing for Ghostbusters on Gamestop’s official website.
At this point, I’m forced to deduce that Gamestop is just out there to crush my dreams and push copies of Game Informer on me. Hopefully as the day progresses we’ll be able to sort out the dream crushing and this cancelation issue.

didnt you know dude, this guy HATES EVERYTHING.
except gears 2.
Is everyone else still on vacation? It has been feeling like a strike around here. :(
Sierra will get sold to EA.
You watch.
Don't give up!
Um, hello? PAX?
This game has to come out. It will. It must. Bill fucking Murray is involved. You can't waste that.
on this site, it's ok to hate everything without legitimate validation. dont be ashamed.
embrace the senseless hate
wait bill murray stopped being a jerk?
srsly?
He was about ready to cry.
I don't know, but he never stopped being awesome. Even after Garfield.
Like Fury said the more we rep "GI" the more hours the store/I get. I like having money and a job so that's why I bring it up to everybody that walks into the store.
Well, I was dissapointed when I read about Ghostbusters this morning. I asked my boss and he said that it was because there is no publisher and release date at the moment. Once they find a new publisher sometime, probably 2009, it will be back on the list of pre-orders. The game is pretty much finished from what I hear so it will just be a matter of time till it comes out.
