With Ghostbusters: The Videogame selling over a million copies, it looks like Atari decided to milk our childhoods for more money by having Wanako Studios, a studio owned by the makers of Naughty Bear, slop together another game in the franchise. From these preliminary views, Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime is going to play just like Alien Breed or Dead Nation with a coat of Ghostbusters paint on it. A 3/4 view running around an area aiming proton beams to wrangle up all the unsavory specters. Maybe they will include the purple slime from the second film in some way.

Here is the kicker, what is the big selling point as of now? That we will get to drive the Ecto-3 at some point in the game.

Woo hoo. Awesome. Amazing. Going to sell millions of copies.

What else is awesome? None of the original cast are lending their talents to the franchise that they helped build - and in some cases are still passionate about. Even with the game's premise being that you are a rookie hired by the guys, they are not there to mentor you at all. So, they hired a person to run around town with a small nuclear reactor on their back, sport the company logo and are not giving them direction? Epic.

Let's just hope that the characters from the original are in there and just silent as none of the voice actors are scheduled to appear. Maybe there will be text message or email mentoring. Who knows?

In any instance, get ready for this direct to download game to hit sometime this upcoming spring. Perhaps we will get an awesome surprise and at least Ernie Hudson will throw his voice into the mix. Only time will tell I guess. Below are those screen shots I mentioned above by the way. Not that they are all that exciting.
