– Alyssa Milano Takes on the Role of Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn, Archeologist and Love Interest, in \u2018Ghostbusters: The Video Game\u2019 Coming June 2009 –<\/p>\n
\u2013 23 March 2009 \u2013 Atari has unveiled Alyssa Milano as the new love interest in the forthcoming blockbuster title Ghostbusters: The Video Game.\u00a0 Alyssa Milano is best known for her roles in long running successful television series \u201cWho\u2019s the Boss\u201d, \u201cMelrose Place\u201d, \u201cCharmed\u201d and most recently \u201cMy Name Is Earl\u201d to name a few.\u00a0 Milano joins members of the original cast from the beloved Ghostbusters movies to recreate the unique blend of humour and fright that established Ghostbusters as a pop culture sensation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ghostbusters: The Video Game prides itself in staying true to the Ghostbusters universe, so it just wouldn\u2019t feel right if Bill Murray\u2019s character, Dr. Peter Venkman, wasn\u2019t turning on the charm.\u00a0 In Ghostbusters: The Video Game, he\u2019s chasing one in particular: Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn is a smart and sassy archaeologist who doesn\u2019t take too kindly to Dr. Venkman\u2019s advances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the game, Milano\u2019s character, Ilyssa Selwyn, is an expert in Sumerian and pre-Sumerian cultures and is visiting New York City as guest curator for the highly anticipated \u2018World of Gozer\u2019 exhibition opening in 1991 at the Natural History Museum.\u00a0 In the story line, Gozerian mythology has attracted a wide popular following since the still-unexplained events and attacks that occurred in the city in 1984.\u00a0 Ilyssa is working late at the museum the night before the opening when a cataclysmic force is unleashed and summons an ancient enemy back to New York City. Strange events continue to erupt around her: what secret does she know? It\u2019s up to the Ghostbusters to help Ilyssa find the key and stop the forces of evil that threaten the balance of the universe. That\u2019s if they can keep Peter Venkman from hitting on her every three minutes.<\/p>\n
Ghostbusters: The Video Game, based on the smash hit motion picture franchise, is penned by original Ghostbusters writers and stars Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd.\u00a0 The other original Ghostbusters, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson, lend their voices and in-game likenesses to the original story set two years after Ghostbusters II, with Manhattan once again overrun by ghosts and supernatural forces.\u00a0 The player joins up as a new recruit with the original team, testing a variety of unique equipment and gadgets, to track, wrangle and trap this wide range of awe-inspiring phantasms in an all new funny and frightening battle to save New York City from its latest paranormal plague.<\/p>\n
