GamesAsylum looks back at 1993's Pac-Attack. Namco’s iconic yellow fellow has starred in countless games over the years, so it’s no surprise that some have fallen into obscurity. Arguably, none of these are more deserving of a lookback than 1993’s Pac-Attack, a neat little puzzler with more than a whiff of Tetris about it.
Review for Pac-Attack on Super Nintendo, Wii U, and Wii. Pac-Man's most puzzling spin-off. Pac-Man sure has seen plenty of genres over the years.
Wanton nostalgia can play funny tricks on your brain – especially when it comes to video games. Take Pac-Attack, for example. It comes with a whole heap of warm, fuzzy signifiers – it’s a re-release from the fondly remembered 16 bit-era, made by one of the most respected Japanese developers around and starring the most iconic figure in gaming. It must be brilliant, right? Not really.

"Because you as our reader can't see the many emails that get passed around whenever news breaks, I thought that I would share some of them with you.
The following team email chain started when Justin announced that he would be writing up the latest "GTA taught me how to…" claim consisting of three teens getting arrested for making car bombs. Enjoy."
The end of the email chain asks readers to share what video games have taught them.
I think the entire concept of people blaming games for things is silly and I am glad Ripten is poking fun at it.
