Games

The classic gaming character Pac-Man is back for the third iteration of the Pac-Man World series. The game features the classic Pac-Man powers and adds a few new abilities--such as superstomp and electric shock--to assist the yellow-ball-like hero against his ghost foes. You will also be able to take control of two different ghost characters. The game takes place in both 2D and 3D and includes the original Pac-Man arcade game.

Pac-Man arrives home on his 20th birthday (the game was released to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original Pac-Man in arcades) only to discover that his friends and family—Ms. Pac-Man, Baby Pac, Pac Jr., Professor Pac, Chomp Chomp the dog, and Pooka have been kidnapped by the evil Toc-Man, who is a giant robot Pac-Man impersonator that was created by Orson, who is bent on stealing Pac-Man's identity. Pac-Man sets off to Ghost Island and works to free them, each of whom is held captive in one of the different worlds. (Pirate world, Ruins world, Space World, Circus world, Factory world and Toc-Man's Mansion)

Unlike most "Pac-games," Pac-Man World is a platform-adventure in which the round, yellow hero progresses through over 20 levels of action. He still faces opposition, however, from ghostly nemeses like Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde. He must also run, jump, and swim his way past other malevolent creatures, such as skeletons, spiders, and killer fish. Thankfully, Pac-Man has a variety of attack methods. Excluding ghosts, most baddies are susceptible to projectile "Pac-Dots," the "Ultra Butt-Bounce" (which also helps him jump higher), or the "Rev Roll," a speed burst allowing Pac-Man to make lengthy jumps off ramps. When disposing of ghosts though, he must first ingest a good old-fashioned Power Pellet, then devour them before its effects wear off.

Pac-Man Party was made to coincide with Pac-Man's 30th anniversary. The game includes a story mode known as "Mr. Cookie's Recipe". It also has a party mode for up to four players. It also has over 50 minigames, which when played, allows players to unlock bonus content. It also has a "Classic Games" mode where players can play three classic Namco arcade games which are Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig Dug.

Pac-Man Museum is a compilation of Pac-Man games available on Xbox Live Arcade (Xbox 360), PlayStation Network (PS3) and Windows PC (through Steam). It was released on February 26, 2014 but it was also released on Steam and the North American PlayStation Store a day earlier (February 25, 2014). It will be released in Japan for PS3 and Xbox 360 on June 25, 2014. A version was in development for the Nintendo eShop, to be released on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, but was cancelled due to "delayed development".[1]
