This mid-year update allows Plastic Wax to reveal 2009 collaborations that had been kept under wraps for months: the opening cinematic and unlockable cinematic for Activision's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game, two different thirty-second television spots that mix live action and CG (which involved animating the classic Slimer character) for Atari's Ghostbusters, and the E3 2009 CG trailer to launch the new Relic/THQ title Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Plastic Wax also has a number of unannounced videogame projects in the works, as well as a feature length film.

Bigdownload: Gamers were upset when it was learned a few days ago that the PC version of Ghostbusters would lack the multiplayer features that its Xbox 360 and PS2 counterparts have. We asked the game's publisher Atari for comment on this issue and they sent over a response from Dan Irish, the CEO of the game's multiplayer developer Threewave Software:

Atari's highly anticipated Ghostbusters: The Video game has just shipped across North America. This means that come Thursday it should be sitting on most game retailer's store shelves for our consumption. Ghostbusters: The Video Game was written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis of the original movies and comes 25 years after the release of the first Ghostbusters film and is said to take place after the events of Ghostbusters 2 with Manhattan being overrun. So who you gonna call?
