Pac-Man and Namco founder Masaya Nakamura are to be entered into the International Video Game Hall of Fame in a few weeks’ time. This comes as a part of the Hall of Fame’s “Big Bang 2010″ event, which will feature tournaments, celebrities, concerts, and a whole lot of Pac-Man.

“We’re going to be focusing a ton on Pac Man,” said Dan Canny, vice president of the IVGHOF board. Unfortunately Nakamura won’t be attending the ceremony, but ““A team of corporate ..read the full article

Simpler than any so-called “casual” game, yet more addictive than perhaps any other title to carry the “hardcore” label, Tetris has been a tested, tried and true phenomenon for decades. No story, no flashy cutscenes, not even any real characters to speak of.

But admit it: you’ve always wondered where those pieces come from.

The answer is amazingly simple, as it turns out, and yet it will shock and amaze you just the same. As you can see ..read the full article

Video Games | Pac-Man | E3 2010: Debut Trailer (Cam)

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

At E3 last week, Namco Bandai and ex-Marvel Studios producer Avi Arad came together to announce that, after 26 long years away, Pac-Man would be making his return to television in a new animated series. But beyond that, little was said and even less was seen, save for a few plot details, and that it would be shown in 3D.

If you’re like me, you visited the Google Home Page today and immediately frowned at the realization the interactive Pac-Man logo we yearned to play again was gone.

We knew Google couldn’t use it forever, but now, thanks to some nifty code archiving, we can all relive the interactive work of art whenever we like.

Click this MediaFire link and unzip the “GooglePacman” folder to your desktop. Locate the “Play GooglePacman.html” file. As the “Read Me” file clearly explains, if you get ..read the full article

If you head on over to Google.com today you’ll be treated to a classic pac-dot eating power pellet chomping chase down of Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde in celebration of Pac-Man’s 30th birthday. Chomp alone, or hit Insert Coin a second time to be joined by Ms. Pac-Man herself.

To the best of my knowledge this is the first time Google has made the jump from graphically altered logo to an interactive gaming logo, and they did an excellent ..read the full article

Outside of spending time with family, stuffing my face with food, and opening a crap-load of presents, my favorite thing about Christmas (and just about every other holiday) is the specials that appear on TV.

Remember that time Pac-Man saved Christmas? How about that age old Christmas carol that talks about the Batmobile losing a wheel and Joker getting away? Well, surely you remember the Star Wars Holiday special that aired once in 1978? Don’t feel bad ..read the full article

Hate sitting on your couch watching your Roomba do all the work? Boring you say? You could get off your ass and do it yourself, but that would require actual work. No sweat. A team of geeked-out developers with cleaning fetish hacked into a few Roomba units and dressed them up like Pac-Man, Pinky, Blinky, and Clyde. Enjoy the power pellet vacuum fest below.

Thanks Engadget
