  1. For a quick-hit classic gaming experience via XBLA, you really can’t go wrong with Ms. Pac-Man. Sure, the game is way simple, but 1981 was a simple time; maybe not in terms of synth pop, but definitely in terms of video games.
  2. Ms. Pac-Man is still a joy to play. Simplicity itself, elegant, addictive, manic and somehow timeless.

    Mrs. Pac Man is a beautiful sequel to its original, and offers some more features.

    First, the good: it's Ms. Pac-Man, and that puts it ahead of every Namco release on Live Arcade except Galaga. Now, the bad: just like First, the good: it's Ms. Pac-Man, and that puts it ahead of every Namco release on Live Arcade except Galaga. Now, the bad: just like every other Namco release on Live Arcade, this one has NOTHING NEW, and just like every other Namco release on Live Arcade so far, this has already been released on countless arcade compilations, most of which you can probably buy for $5 and get 10x the fun of this. Buy only if you're a die-hard fan, all others avoid this. Full Review »
