Pac-Man 35th Anniversary Update Explosion *BOOM!*

Chomp! Recently, ye ole blog has been a celebration of the Pac’s 35th Birthday. A number of great games have been released alongside movie related goodies. Let’s check them out.

Pac-Man 256 on Android/iOS

Wow! Double Wow! Triple Wow! This game caught everybody off guard. Bandai-Namco teams up with Crossy Road developer Hipster Whale to give you one of the most addicting games in recent history.

Pac-Man aims for the high-score as he travels through a ¾ maze view that stretches to infinity. Pursued by colourful ghosts and the deadly “Glitch”, the Pac battles back not just with energizers, but with explosive power ups such as lasers, bombs and tornadoes. Hell yeah! A refreshing new take on the arcade classic, I guarantee you’ll find it hard to put it down.

How much will this little piece of heaven cost you? Nothing. It’s free. However, to play with power ups you'll need credits. You do start with a number of free one's and you can earn them. However, if you wanna play with unlimited credits that'll set you back around 9 bucks, the price of a foot long sandwich.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX on Android/iOS

I can take this modern day classic on the go? Yes please!

I don’t think I have to talk much about this title. However, I will mention it’s been perfectly translated for mobile devices. It controls surprisingly well with swipey, touch controls. Beautiful graphics. Sweet music. Awesome game play. No wonder why this game garnered perfect scores with it’s original console release.

Pixels The Game on Android/iOS

A totally, free tower defence game featuring the stars, locations and classic arcade game characters from Pac-Man, Galaga, Centipede and more. I know that tower defence games are a dime a dozen on mobile devices, or free/freemium a dozen. However, Pixels is pretty good. No BS, it's 100% free. No ads or in purchase options. Check it out. It does have Pac-Man in it. ;)

Pixels The Movie

I really enjoyed this flick. I found it to be a perfectly executed summer, popcorn movie featuring plenty of giggles, a couple of great belly laughs and awesome effects. Pixels is a great family viewing experience and perhaps, gives all of us all nice break from superhero adventures. Not that I have anything against comic book flicks, but snap, there are plenty of them now.

Pac-Man’s appearance is one of the highlights alongside his father, Professor Toru Iwatani who share the cinema screen. Look for a ton of classic arcade cameos and action-packed scenes. Peter Dinklage steals the show and Michelle Monaghan is simply adorable. Her scenes with Adam Sandler are a highlight and dare I say it, make it a great date flick. Look forward to seeing Q-Bert join our heroes, a definite highlight for the kids.

Amongst all the Pixels fun, there was a Pixels Pac-Man 35th Anniversary press conference featuring fan favourites such as Professor Toru Iwatani and gaming legend Billy Mitchell. It’s a great video, filled with tons of info regarding the Pac. Check it out below!

"Game On" by Waka Flaka Flame and Featuring Good Charlotte

One of the hottest hip-hop singles of the summer is from the Pixels movie itself. "Game On" features Waka Flaka Flame and Good Charlotte providing an energetic and playful track. Check out the music video below, that of course, features a familiar yellow guy.

This isn’t the end. There is more to come. I’ll have another update soon.

Now, go download Pac-Man 256! Cheers! :)
