As a child of the 80’s, Pac-Man was just about everywhere. I for one was completely guilty of getting on the Pac-Man fever bandwagon. I had the Pac-Man fever vinyl record, the Coleco stand-up arcade toy, the t-shirts, video games, and basically I was eating, sleeping and breathing Pac-Man back then. However, that was thirty years ago and I’m not so sure how Pac-Man has managed to stay in the hearts of so many these days. Now I don’t want to start off this review on a negative note but one has to be left wondering how a thirty year old franchise knocks the ball out of the park. The Star Wars series did come out roughly around the same time and its tenure is very high. So sit tight and we’ll see how it hold up to my kids.
Techtorial: Kohl's has revealed its Black Friday ad offering discounts to Xbox One console, Nintendo 3DS XL bundle and select video games.
Yes they are at least here in Florida. What really amazes me is that they sell video games! and consoles???
That's nuts. I remember Venture, Blockbuster, and Funcoland going under but to think Kohls still being around today is beyond belief.
I've only have been in one of there stores a couple of times and NEVER could find any video games in it. They seem to carry mostly clothes and crap for the home.
Everybody has been getting into the video game craze. Stores like Dollah general,Family Dollah,and even some 7/11 stores ( HOLLAH! ) have been carrying games, aswell as some great deals on points cards and subscription renewal cards.
Keep your eyes open in the news papers for there add's through out the holidays.
Hardcore Gamer: The Namco Bandai online store launched a massive 50% off sale for pretty much anything on the PlayStation 3.
All of a sudden all these prices are coming down for the ps3. Kind of making me a little worried. I mean this is nice and all, butt ........ IT IS A CONSPIRACY!!
Everyone grab your tinfoil hats! ;-)
Just kidding.
On a more serious note games sales are down at the moment. Sales for games provide incentive for gamers to purchase games and provides additional income to game companies while the market is slow.
Bring Xenosaga franchise to the PSN and the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia.
When is a Pac-Man game not a Pac-Man game? When it scraps the very concept that made Pac-Man famous to begin with in favour of a Super Mario style three-dimensional platformer, complete with a ridiculously cheesy storyline that somehow tries to logically explain over three decades of arcade goodness. But before you grab your pitchforks and rally up a posse, have a little think back to just how long it’s been since Pac-Man was first released. At thirty-four years old, the pellet chomping mascot of arcade gaming has to prove he’s still “down with the kids” in order to make a living these days.
