Pac-Man Championship coming to Xbox Live Tournament |
Now that you’ve had some time to brush up on your skills with your old-school arcade games, Xbox Live is planning a worldwide Pac-Man championship on Xbox Live Arcade.
Microsoft, along with Namco Bandai Games and Quiznos as a sponsor, will be presenting the first ever Pac-Man championship beginning April 25th and ending May 9th. Finalists will judged by the best Xbox Live Arcade leaderboard scores in 7 different countries around the world. One additional finalist will be named not necessarily by their game skills, but by how convincing they are in a video that shows why they are the biggest Pac-Man fan ever.
The finalists will be flown to New York City on June 5th for the final competition, and one person will be crowned the first Pac-Man world champion by Toru Iwatani, who is the original creator of ‘Pac-Man.’
As if being named the Pac-Man world champion is not enough, the winner will also receive free Quiznos subs for 26 years, 100k Microsoft points and a special Xbox 360 with a unique Pac-Man themed design.
If you’re interested you can download Pac-Man now through the Xbox Live Arcade (you will need an Xbox 360 of course) and start brushing up on your skills. On April 25th you can visit the Xbox Live Tournament site to register and get your Pac-Man on.
