Looks like the/a Ghostbusters game will be official next month. No idea if it's from the company that did these:

Looks like there will be a version for every console including Wii. Proton waggle sounds fun, but how can you not
over the vids above? No contest.

More info about the game: http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/071115b.php
They got all the original cast to agree to likenesses and voice work on it. Also has Ramis and Aykroyd doing the writing of the game script.

"Vivendi Games and Sony Pictures plan to turn the "Ghostbusters" films into a video game franchise reports Variety.
All four original actors - Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis - will be giving voice and likeness rights for the game, as have supporting actors like William Atherton, Brian Doyle Murray and Annie Potts.
Scribes Aykroyd and Ramis will also pen a story for the dgame that takes place in the early '90s, after "Ghostbusters II," during a new ghoul invasion of New York City.
This also marks the first major video game deal for one of its library titles that Sony Pictures has made. A Fall 2008 release is being targeted by Vivendi's Sierra label."
This sounds awesome, the fact that they are playing it as a actual sequel to the flicks, with ramis and Aykroyd writing it and the orginal cast doing voices, Awesome, cant wait for the game.

This has the makings of a solid AAA title written all over it. Finally a chance for the children of the 1980's to have something to relate to with the children of the 1990's. Just the other day I asked my nephew if he wanted to watch Ghostbusters two and he had no idea what I was talking about. I almost died.

So today I was thinking about this game a ton instead of working.
Can you imagine a mode like Terrorist Hunt from the Rainbow Six games where they have so many ghosts on a level that you have to capture? They can have a subway, sewer, street, library and museum level. Add four player co-op to that and I would be in heaven.
This would probably be the first game I but two copies of if it came out on both the Wii and 360. Online co-op on the 360 would be amazing but the Wii controls would blow my mind. I can just imagine flicking the nunchuck to throw out the trap and then steering the ghost over the trap.
I think I have my new most anticipated game of 2008.

Yeah. I think a third movie would be huge. It's been 15 years and prime for revival.

I'd be excited for this game if this wasn't the company developing it:

Way to rain on our parade. 
That is quite the list of shitty games they have made. With a track record like that, it might be best to write this one off already.
Why couldn't they go with ZootFly?
