Jonathan Kromrey to head up Namco's new Apple Games division
Namco is placing a lot of chips on the iPhone and other Apple platforms, as the company announced today that it is forming a new division called Apple Games. Apple Games will be managed by Jonathan Kromrey, former games designer and producer at Apple, who will be focusing on "creating new franchise opportunities, overseeing research, managing design and production from internal teams and worldwide external partners, and developing and publishing new and original content." The company's previous support for the iPhone/iPod Touch included installments in popular franchises with Dig Dug and i Love Katamari. It's currently working on Pac-Man: Remix. We wish Kromrey the best of luck and hope he has some good stuff in mind -- that means no ports of Death by Degrees or Great Greed. Actually, the latter doesn't sound like such a bad idea ...
Pac-Man: Remix coming to iPhone soon
Namco has announced that a new version of Pac-Man, titled Pac-Man: Remix, will be coming to iPhone. Due to Apple's silly non-disclosure policies, the fact that we know the game is coming means that it's coming soon. Basically, it's Pac-Man, but this time there's a little more to it (though, little you haven't seen before). The eponymous yellow sphere can jump over ghosts and walls and there will be boss battles and power-ups, too.Pac-Man: Remix will set you back $5.99 which, if you ask us, is a little steep for another Pac-Man title. There are plenty other, cheaper, iPhone games to spend that money on. Still, we thought you'd want to know that it's coming, just in case there are any die hard Pac-Man fans in the Joystiq audience.
