Kart racers are a dime a dozen... well, maybe less than that. But over-abundance is no reason to shun every new attempt at the genre, so we'll go ahead and welcome these new, villainous Pac-Man World Rally screens with open arms.
If you don't want to control the good guys (Pac, Mrs. Pac and their pals), Rally brings in the already revealed Pac-Devil, along with the robotic Toc-Man, ghoulish Erwin and the undead Spooky. Check them out below, and keep your eyes peeled for Rally's August
Is it wrong for a gaming icon to play with himself? Well, that's exactly what's going on in these inexplicably interesting Pac-Man World Rally screens that showcase the classic, retro maze from the first game. As you race through the level, you'll catch glimpses of Pac and Mrs. Pac enjoying a table version of the original Pac-Man, complete with roaming ghosts, dots and an endless series of 90 degree turns.
The game's due on August 22, but the prospect of zipping through this maze, ghosts and
It seems to be a rite of passage that every cartoon-y, platform-y game character must eventually star in a kart racing game. This summer, one of the earliest arcade stars - Pac-Man, one of few modern game characters who can remember when Mario was a rookie - gets his turn behind the wheel.
He's not alone - there are at least 15 characters in all, including the fire-breathing dragon Fygar from Namco's arcade classic Dig-Dug and a certain roll-headed prince from a more modern hit, Katamari
20. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Silicon Knights | Konami | 2004
A slick remake of the revolutionary spy drama that's still considered by many to be the best entry in the Metal Gear saga
What made it so great?
Take the single greatest game of the PSone generation, inject a fresh graphical update and all the cool new gameplay features from its PS2 sequel, and you've got an instant classic. Developed by Canadian developer Silicon Knights and filled with new cutscenes by Japanese film
“There are two sides to me today,” Shigeru Miyamoto told attendants to Nintendo's E3 roundtable: “The corporate side that wants to follow the precedent we set for E3 of not announcing any titles, and the creative side of me.” That second side prevailed, however, and the producer couldn't resist namedropping an early title for Wii U, an early first-party confirmation for the console and a revival for a series long close to the hearts of fans and Miyamoto alike: a new Pikmin.

An overwhelming majority of gamers are male, so it makes perfect sense for every marketing team in the world to target their software at young guys. And what do all men ages 18 to one zillion love? Girls, gore and big loud machines. If they could make a game about a firefighting bikini squad that hunts down zombies in a decked-out sex/fire truck, world peace would be declared. But until that day, we have to settle with regular old T & A.
Developers are well aware of this, so occasionally

According to the Entertainment Software Association's 2006 report, 38 percent of gamers are females. These numbers are down from 2005, when the fairer sex reportedly accounted for 43 percent of the pie.
It seems that gaming continues to be a mostly male affair, so what's the best way to penetrate this demographic? Judging by the sex-filled ads we've seen over the years, it looks like the best way to a young man's wallet has - and always will be - through his pants. Read on and
