Gaming simulators have been around for the past two decades. However, it's not quite easy and cost efficient for companies to produce home simulation systems that may compete with the ones we learned to love in over-crowded arcades.
Ubisoft has said 3D gaming will quickly become a major factor in video games, estimating that around 50 per cent of all new games will be 3D-enabled by 2012. "We will see more and more product coming in 3D on 360 and PS3 but also on portable machines," said the publisher's CEO
Happy 30th birthday Pac-Man! Way before Time Crisis, Tekken and even Street Fighter, Namco, one of the world's most influential gaming pioneers, introduced Pac-Man to the world. Pac-Man was not the first game to create a huge buzz around it, before Pac-Man there was Space Invaders, Pong and Digger which also managed to grasp the gamer's attention and playing time. However, Pac-Man was the only game at the time that managed to create a strong brand image around it. When presented with an image of a yellow pie (with a missing slice), 94% of a sample group recognized that it was an image of their beloved Pac-Man. Since 1980, many Pac-Man spin offs were introduced to the market, amongst which are; Pac-Man Plus, Jr. Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Professor Pac-Man.
Pac-Man has been around forever (30 years) and never seems to get old. One of Pac-Man's biggest advantages is the it doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl, a man or a woman, as long as you have a keyboard or a controller with four arrows, you will be stuck to your seat for quite a while playing this stage by stage video game. However Pac-Man does have one disadvantage which not too many people know about... Once you reach the 256th stage, the screen splits (bug) and it is impossible to finish the stage (see the video in the title).
