Who would’ve thought that a franchise like Ghostbusters would be revived so many years since its run ended on TV a long time ago? This time round, Atari will be bringing back fond memories of Slimer the pet ghost and gang in Ghostbusters: The Video Game which will make a splash on the Sony PSP system for portable ghost bustin’ goodness after moving more than a miliion units across the US where console versions are concerned.

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.

Expect to fork out $29.99 for Ghostbusters: The Video Game for the PSP system, where it picked up an E10 rating. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t check out other versions on different platforms, eh?
