Twenty-five years after the theatrical release of "Ghostbusters," the franchise-much like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man-is blowing up. The original film will be issued on Blu-ray for the first time in June, a third movie is in the works, and Atari will soon release Ghostbusters: The Videogame on multiple platforms. Gamers play the role of a new cadet teaming up with the familiar crew of Raymond Stantz, Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddmore-Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson, respectively, who all contributed voice work. Aykroyd, who co-wrote the original film and its sequel with Ramis, spoke to NEWSWEEK's Nick Summers about "Ghostbusters III," morphing into a purely digital character and why you shouldn't expect to see Sigourney Weaver in the videogame version.

WTMG's Todd Eggleston: "Ghostbusters The Video Game is nostalgia done right, and puts you right back in 1984. It isn’t a masterpiece of a game, and neither was the movie, but it reminds us again that it is ok for entertainment to just be entertaining. It is a game that deserves to be remastered and remembered. And 35 years later, it also serves to remind us that a remaster doesn’t always need to be Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott. Sometimes, Ray Parker Jr. is exactly who you need to call."
