It’s sad that some of the most iconic videogame characters of all time where junkies. Mario loved his mushrooms, Sonic would die if he couldn’t get his rings, and Pac-Man would consume every pill in sight. No wonder he saw ghosts. Sigh. At least he got some fruit in his diet.

Street Fighter x Tekken is getting a few Sony exclusive characters …

Once again Nintendo has announced the latest additions to their digital libraries.

When you’ve got a ghost problem and power pellets just aren’t getting the job done, who ya gonna call?

Namco are celebrating Valentine’s Day by reducing the prices across its range of iOS titles in the app store.

Lee Kirton, Head of Marketing at Namco Bandai UK, has made the strong statement that the 3DS is “one of the most important launches in gaming history.”

Pac-Man and Namco founder Masaya Nakamura are to be entered into the International Video Game Hall of Fame in a few weeks’ time. This comes as a part of the Hall of Fame’s “Big Bang 2010″ event, which will feature tournaments, celebrities, concerts, and a whole lot of Pac-Man…

But admit it: you’ve always wondered where those pieces come from.

Aside from the upcoming Mayan apocalypse, we now have another reason to fear the year 2012: that’s when the 3D Pac-Man cartoon is expected to air.

At E3 last week, Namco Bandai and Marvel Film Producer Avi Arad came together to announce that, after 26 long years away, Pac-Man would be making his return to television in a new animated series. But beyond that, little was said and even less was seen, save for a few plot details, and that it would be shown in 3D.

If you’re like me, you visited the Google Home Page today and immediately frowned at the realization the interactive Pac-Man logo we yearned to play again was gone. We knew Google couldn’t use it forever, but now, thanks to some nifty …

If you head on over to Google.com today you’ll be treated to a classic pac-dot eating power pellet chomping chase down of Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde in celebration of Pac-Man’s 30th birthday …
