Over 40 years after his creation, Pac-Man remains a popular character among both gamers and mainstream audiences. The Pac’s legacy lives on in the gaming world thanks to intermittent sequels, remasters (like Pac-Man World Re-Pac), and collections.

Bandai Namco keeps the Pac-Man franchise alive through numerous re-releases on consoles as well as Arcade1Up and other miniature arcade cabinets. This console generation has seen a pair of cool collections of NES games from Namco and Namco Museum, an arcade-themed compilation for Switch, but the last Pac-Man-specific collection dates back to the Xbox 360 era. That will change in just a few months when Pac-Man Museum Plus heads to all consoles and PC, complete with the 4-player co-op sleeper hit, Pac-Man 256.

Guns of Icarus has had an interesting life. What started as a web-based airship combat game eventually turned into the more full-featured Steam release Guns of Icarus Online. The co-op play for the series has always been unusual, allowing teams of players to work together to battle rival airships in some intense rounds of mid-air combat. Even still, the game was a bit thin under the surface, offering a lot of combat with very little else.

Soon to beginning their 2nd closed beta testing weekend, Muse Games is well on their way to finishing their multiplayer title, Guns of Icarus Online, and starting to hand out beta keys to their Kickstarter supporters.

MUSE lead singer Matt Bellamy has lend his likeness to Guitar Hero 5, Activision announced today.  The always entertaining Bellamy talks about being digitized in the game during the latest promo video.  After donning the spandex and glowy balls, he imagined himself playing the song Plug-in Baby in some of the bands biggest performances.  The song is featured on the GH5 soundtrack, and is one of my personal favorite songs of the band.
