Review: Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures – A Ghostly Good Time

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures is Namco-Bandai’s latest title, currently out for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii-U. Based on a television series of the same name, the game follows Pac-Man and company on a quest to return a giant gun… or something. The story isn’t one that’s truly worth paying attention to.

Star Trek has Hella Gorn Y’all!

Anybody who grew up on Star Trek waaaayyyy back then, may remember an iconic episode called,”Arena”.
