A group of NYU grad students have designed and playtested a live-action version of pac-man in the streets of manhattan, complete with guys running around in pac-man and ghost suits.

Each player has an operator (similar to the Matrix if you want to draw that connection) updating them on where they are and where to look through wi-fi internet access and cellphone links. They also have videos taken of them as they run through the streets. My favorite:

dude, go on the site. The NYU kids are going to make packages they can mail out so you too can play PacMan!

What about DUKE NUKE'EM's version of... THE SHINING.

Yep, that's right REDRUM: THE SHINING II is actually a downloadable game.

I fucking LOVE that movie. Nicholson is The Man. We have the same birthday too. Goddamn that rocks.
