In the upcoming Ghostbusters video game (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS, PC) you'll have access to many kinds of nuclear-accelerated weaponry, such as the classic Proton Gun, and all new ones like the Electron Gun and the Slime Gun. Which would be the best one to use against the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man? A flamethrower. Then take out the hotdogs and have yourself a picnic. But anyway, check out this new video from PlayrTV showing off some of the guns you'll use in the game.

Capcom released that Devil May Cry 4 for the Microsoft Xbox 360 has reached its one millionth demo download on Saturday. DMC4 was also released for the Sony PlayStation 3 and PC. According to Microsoft, this is the first demo this year to hit the millionth mark, and is also one of the fastest xbox 360 download games to hit that mark in the history of the Xbox Live service. Looking at the dates and number of downloads, we see that Devil May Cry 4 for the Xbox 360 gets downloaded an average of 25,000 downloads a day and is still going strong. Only in its first week out on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the PC,Devil May Cry 4 dominated the UK charts for the week ending on February 9. Looks like the 20-minute install time didn't deter gamers from appreciating the game.
Turok (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC), also on its first week out, also made the charts at third place. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, which entered the charts at first place last December, is still going strong at second place.
Last week's chart topper, Burnout Paradise, has slowed down a bit on fourth place while newcomer The Club enters the charts at ninth place. Here are the rest of the top 20 entries for the week of February 9:
