No doubt the name Atari is synonymous with that of video games, and they have just announced that Ghostbusters: The Video Game will be making its way to the Sony PSP later this November after seeing the huge success of the console version moving more than a million units across North America in its first month. It is interesting to know that despite not having a movie released in conjunction with the video game, there is still plenty of love for the Ghostbusters franchise. You will be able to carry around your virtual proton packs while getting stubborn ghosts into the trap on a gorgeous 16:9 widescreen wherever you go when November rolls around.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game, based on the smash hit motion picture franchise, is penned by original Ghostbusters writers and stars Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd and reunites many of the original cast members to recapture the unique blend of humor and fright that established Ghostbusters as a pop culture sensation. In collaboration with Sony Pictures Consumer Products and acclaimed development studios Terminal Reality and RedFly Studios, Atari published this completely all-new chapter of the blockbuster Ghostbusters saga to advanced gaming platforms to coincide with the 25th Anniversary celebration of the film’s original theatrical release. Ghostbusters: The Video Game on the PSP systems offers the ability to switch between four equipment sets to access eight unique proton pack functions and use gadgets like the PKE Meter and Paragoggles to scan and analyze targets. Get pulled into the world of the paranormal, unleash your blast stream and tear it up on the go.

Rated E10, Ghostbusters: The Video Game for PSP will retail for $29.99 a pop – ain’t too shabby, really.
