BREAKING! New Pac-Man TV Game!

Pac-Man. That game sums up my childhood. It got me into video games and exploded my imagination of all things Pac-Man, Ghosts and Power Pellets.

For years, Jakks TV Games has been pumping out the Pac-Man licensed plug and play games.

Today, Namco Bandai has taken over responsibilities themselves and are introducing a brand new one which looks amazing. Included are 12 Namco arcade classics from Pac-Man to Super Pac-Man to Dig Dug.

What is significant, is that this is the first time that one of these plug and play tv devices will run the original arcade game roms instead of recreations.

Head over to the OFFICIAL WEBPAGE and please check out an in depth article from COLLECTIONDX.

PSO2 Free To Play

The long awaited Phantasy Star Online 2 has not only been confirmed to exist by Sega themselves, they have announced the platforms the title will appear on and it's pricing structure.

The game will be available for your PC and PlayStation Vita. These systems will be able to cross platform play with each other. Awesome! Also, a mobile edition will appear which will be a different, scaled back experience.All versions will be free-to-play.

Sweet! I can't wait!

Zipper Shut Down

Sad days are hitting the video game industry. Not only is Sega laying off employees around the globe for restructuring purposes, Sony is shutting down one of its longest running first party studios.

Zipper Interactive, responsible for Sony's tactical shooters is closing. Like most studios like Zipper, they have struggled to capture the imaginations of gamers in a world taken over by Call of Duty. Believe me, I love me some Call of Duty. I just completed Modern Warfare 3 and I can only describe it with one word, "EPIC". It blew my mind. That is the competition Zipper had. I loved Socom 4 and currently playing Unit 13 with it's daily challenges. I love these games and I hate to see the team disappear, with those franchises now in question.

Best wishes to all those who have departed from Sony.

New iPad Interest Poll

Tech news super site engadget has recently conducted an online poll for fellow users to judge the interest of Apple's "New iPad".

As of this writing, results are the following -

The new iPad: are you buying one? 

Already got it! 13295 (22.0%)
Yes, I'm upgrading from the original iPad / iPad. 26025 (10.0%)
I'm gonna take a look in-store first. 12305 (20.3%)
Nah, I'm more interested in an Android slate. 18669 (30.9%)
Tablets? Not for me thanks! 10196 (16.9%)

Hmm... Interesting. Results may change as time marches forward, however it is interesting to note those who are more interested in Android. The "New iPad" is a powerhouse, looks amazing and of course, one can not deny that wonderful "App Store".

If you are a regular reader of this blog, I do enjoy my Sony products and I do own the Tablet S. This Android tablet is solid offering tech specs that are roughly in between the iPad 2 and "New iPad". My interest of Apple's latest and greatest tablet is huge. I will probably purchase one in the future. However, I am still happy with my Sony tablet at the moment.
