When Microsoft put Pac Man into the Xbox Live Marketplace, I grabbed it immediately. Many PacMan fans were disappointed that this video game classic really wasn’t optimized for an HD experience. Guess what?

The “Pac-Man Championship Edition” features the first new Pac-Man mazes in more than 26 years. Think of it as the same beloved “Pac-Man” game played in pizza parlors and arcades of the 80’s but updated with new features that former “Pac-Man” fanatics and new generations of fans alike will love. It includes new mazes that dynamically change shape during gameplay, six new timed game modes, new soundtracks and high-definition (HD) graphics.

Yeah, this one was totally worth waiting for…

If you’d like to take a closer look, either download the demo or check out a Pac Man CE screen capture (and a Pac Man wallpaper). My favorite Pac-Man of all time was Ms. Pac Man. What about you?
