    Dan Aykroyd: Ghostbusters Picked Up By Atari, Still A "Year Away"

    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. Now, he could just be reading Kotaku, since we said the same thing last month, but we'd like to think he doesn't, and instead heard this somewhere else. Aykroyd's too classy to hang around here commenting about Shenmue and shitty Wii games.

    Ghostbusters Game Puts A Song In Bill Murray's Heart

    Veteran Ghostbuster Bill Murray appeared on Today this morning to chat about his new science fiction film City of Ember, though as is often the case with Murray, talk soon turned to Ghostbusters. Murray talks about the possibilities of a third film (please, please, please) and then gushes about how great it was to record voice overs for the most-likely upcoming game. It's a nice reaffirmation for fans that Ghostbusters has always been a labor of love, at least for this one guy. Makes your heart all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it?
