Pop those pills: XBLA Wednesday gets Ms. Pac-Man
Miss Pac-Man pops pills to pulverize poltergeists.
Try saying that a couple of times and you’re bound to get tongue-tied. Of course, Ms. Pac-Man doesn’t have an actual tongue, so she’s quite used to saying weird things like that.
As you can probably guess, one of Namco Bandai‘s earliest works is getting a next-gen makeover in the Xbox Live Arcade version of Ms. Pac-Man. As with any Pac-Man game, your job is to eat up all the pellets on a level while avoiding the ghosts. You can also grab the giant power pellets to get temporary invincibility from these persistent poltergeists while you go about grabbing more pellets.
Fans of the series will be glad to know that you’ve got 255 levels of Pac-Man madness to go through, though you can try the first two stages of the game in the demo version. As for the gamerscore and achievement hunters, there are 12 achievements to be won here, though you can expect one of them to be beating all 255 levels (Good luck with that!).
Before your tongues get tied any further, just remember that you can start purchasing this piece of classic arcade gaming for 400 MS points on January 10, at 1 a.m. Happy hunting, and have fun pulverizing poltergeists!
