One million Ghostbusters games sold

Atari announced that it has sold one million units of Ghostbusters: The Video Game across North America since its release on June 16, 2009. This number - I am guessing - has to include games sold across all platforms including Xbox 360, PC, PS2, Wii, and DS.

Still, a pretty impressive feat for Atari and for the men that got behind this game including Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, and various original Ghostbusters cast members - except Sigourney Weaver..

Ghostbusters: The Video Game is available on the Xbox 360 ($59.99), Windows PC ($29.99), PS3 ($59.99), PS2 ($19.99), Wii ($39.99) and Nintendo DS ($29.99).

After all, what’s a good story without a good love interest? Enter Alyssa Milano.

Over the weekend, word broke that Milano would be playing the role of the obligatory love interest in the upcoming game, with rumors indicating that she would be voicing the character of Dana Barrett in Weaver’s stead. Contrary to those earlier reports, though, Atari announced this morning that Milano will be voicing a brand new character developed for the game.
