Call it Pac-Man 2.0

So Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg has a thing for hyperbole. A few days ago he mentioned that there would be an announcement coinciding with the Pac-Man World Championship that he thought would "go down in video game history."

Turned out that, yeah, it's kinda cool, but video game history might just take a pass. See, Microsoft and Namco have teamed up to create Pac-Man Championship Edition for Xbox Live Arcade, which will feature new mazes for our yellow friend. The new widescreen mazes will be in crisp high-def , and even change shape during the course of a game.

Not a bad idea, and I wouldn't mind giving it a shot. I'm certainly not going to rush out and buy an Xbox 360 for it. Greenberg might want to dial down his morning caffeine a bit.
