Pac-Man, the iconic 1980s arcade ghost-chaser, is to become the star of his own rally game.
Pac-Man World Rally features 14 playable characters including Toc-Man (that's him in the shots), who's actually a ghost posing in a robotic Pac-Man suit.

Building on the series' PC past by including various levels of hell from Battle Out of Hell and the original package, Hell Wars also features numerous trademark weapons including the Stakegun and the bladed and brutal Painkiller.
With the Havok physics engine underpinning the head popping and the prospect of five multiplayer games for use
Dreamcatcher launched a volley of videos at us demonstrating the more hellish aspects of their upcoming shooter Painkiller: Hell Wars. Unfortunately, these new shorts don't quite depict the ultra-smooth action of a bajillion frames per second that Painkiller can pump out, but they do show off the inconceivably massive bosses and other freakish foes you'll encounter on your jaunt through Beelzebub's
