Pac-Man's 45th anniversary celebrations:
Shadow Labyrinth
Roblox Pac-Man simulator
Gaming accessories
Plushies
Pac-Man Live Experience (Manchester)
Seattle Museum of Pop Culture display
California Great Park Gallery retrospective
Club America soccer jerseys
Pac-Man toys
Pac-Man cookbook

Also, they're doing a blood drive in association with the Red Cross.
Bit of an odd one, but if it motivates even one person to donate, that's a good thing.

It's a doujin game not linked to the series, but it has received the blessing of the original author.

I keep hearing more about the Atelier series even if it is about how thick a lead characters thighs are. I checked Wiki and there's been around 80 titles released, it says it's sold around 7.5m copies across the franchise which works out as around 94,000 copies per release avg - is it actually good or fairly budget shovelware for people who like oogling waif's?
