Another Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday is here and today we have a release of Pac-Man for the 360. I think the game's a little overpriced at 400 points as it's just regular Pac-Man with nothing new added. Actually, I think this should be another one of those free games like Hexic. In any event, go to your Xbox Live Arcade to pick it up or download the demo.
