Well, at least I'm not older than Pac-Man! The little yellow guy just turned 34 if you can believe it, and Namco is celebrating by releasing 3 new mazes for the Pac-Man and Pac-Man Lite apps on iOS devices. Each maze--Cloudy, Dazzle and Square Dance--contains 20 new challenges for the apps. The update, called the Mayhem Pack, will run you $1.99 on the app store. That's nice and all Namco, but couldn't you at least give Pac-Man a cake? With a piece cut out so the cake looks like him? ...Ok I'll leave now.
