Who's Ghostbusters Gonna Call? Atari!
October 30, 2008 | 9:52 AM PST

As none other than Dan "Ray Stantz" Ackroyd himself proclaimed, the Ghostbusters have found a new home with Atari. And with it, a general idea of when bustin' will make us feel good:
Execs at Atari wouldn't comment on "Ghostbusters," but sources close to the publisher confirmed it is also picking up that game, with plans to publish it early next summer in conjunction with the film's 25th anniversary. It's believed Atari has a similar licensing deal with Sony Pictures to produce further "Ghostbusters" games should the first one prove successful.

Atari is paying Activision Blizzard a flat fee to cover a portion of the development coin Vivendi Games previously spent on both titles. -- Variety
What's this? "Both titles?" Yeah, that's the other thing. While Atari was shopping around, they decided to pick up "The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena," too. Which together really kind of flies in the face of the company's new focus. But perhaps that could be beneficial, in some ways.
"The biggest point for us was to find a publisher that doesn't just want a game to fill a slot in its schedule but wants to work with us to build 'Riddick' in the gaming space," said Bill Kispert, VP of interactive for Universal's digital platforms group. -- Variety
Here's hoping that it works out, better than some of Atari's past ventures at that.
