Specifically, I'm addicted to the five-minute "championship" mode that serves as the centerpiece of this Xbox Live Arcade follow-up to Tōru Iwatani's arcade classic. (There's also two, 10-minute "challenge" modes and three "extra" modes, one of which lasts for five minutes and two that last for 10.)
Honestly, it's impossible for me to play this mode just once. That's what I mean to do, at least on most occasions, but invariably I end up telling myself, "just one more time," as soon as the game's clock hits zero.
Despite all of the time I've put into Pac-Man Championship Edition thus far, I'd hardly call myself good at it. I improve a little each time I boot it up, though, which is part of what keeps me coming back for more. The other part? It's simply a blast to play--even when I miss my high score by a wide margin.
I'll post more in-depth impressions of the game (likely in one of my "somewhat gay" reviews) soon, but in the meantime just know that I'm enjoying the hell out of it and that I heartily recommend it to anyone who has a PSP or an Xbox 360.

Sorry, Justin :( You'd like this game, too, I'm sure. I still don't get why none of the versions (CE/CE DX) have been released on Nintendo platforms. CE will be on some upcoming Pac-Man/Galaga 3DS cart, though -- maybe you'll be able to play it then? (Or maybe it will be released on the 3DS shop?)
I got this game free with my Xbox 360 Arcade :)
Yeah, I really love it, the flashy lights and the moving colours... I enjoy them O_O
Ah, another Pac-Man CE fan. Great!
I definitely plan to buy the Pac Man/Galaga game when it comes out...but who knows when that will be.
Well, hopefully it'll be out soon. Or, like I said, maybe they'll put Pac-Man CE on the 3DS shop after it's launched.
This is one of the few games that actually makes me want a current console :|
I can see you liking this one, Simon -- it's kind of the perfect marriage of old and new.
