Underpowered graphics, to an aging celebrity starring in his first video game, are like soft candlelight at a romantic dinner. Dan Aykroyd "loves" the Wii version of Ghostbusters "because it resembles 'The Incredibles.'" More »

We know, he's not your usual source for hot gaming news, but Dan Aykroyd's got a trusting face. That and he's, you know, closely involved in this whole Ghostbusters thing. Speaking with Dallas radio station 105.3 KLLI this morning, the Ghostbusters star said that the currently in-limbo game has been picked up by Atari, and is about "a year away" from being released.

The whole time this demonstration was happening, more and more objects were being dropped into the environment to show exactly how much this hearty engine could handle. More boxes, people and even cars fell from the ceiling, filling the room with thousands of objects without a hiccup in the frame rate or a slowing down of the action. At one point a monster was created using hundreds of books that came flying of the library shelves only to be taken down, book by book by the power of the Proton Pack. More »

Boy, the upcoming Ghostbusters game already has quite the storied, confusing history—especially for a game that hasn't been announced. Let's recap quickly. YouTube videos surface. Fearing further disappointment in life, we doubt they're real. Turns out they are. We rejoice. Then, Sony supposedly pulls the plug. More »
