Variety reports that Alyssa Milano voice will in the upcoming Ghostbusters video game. Her character voice will be Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn. It’s really nice to get big stars involved in this project but I could really care less if Sigouney Weaver or Alyssa Milano lends their voice, who the hell knows what Sigourney’s voice sounds like anyways.

Atari spilled some information on what multi-player will be like on the Ghostbusters.

Two Co-op modes:

• Instant Action – start busting ghosts instantly.
