Get Pac-Man on iOS for a buck (in seven flavors) this holiday weekend

So what if you can already play Pac-Man for free on Facebook in two shades of beautiful, monochromatic yellow. What happens when you're on the toi--I mean, in line at the grocery store?

Thankfully, Namco Bandai has slashed the prices of all eight versions of Pac-Man for iOS devices along with a number of classic games the company has ported there for our greasy thumbs to enjoy. And it's all to honor this glorious (if pointless) holiday we Americans call Labor Day. Check out all the games below with links to where they hang on the App Store:

    Ace Combat Xi: Skies of Incursion – $4.99 $2.99
    Buccaneer Blitz – $2.99 $.99 [Universal]
    Dig Dug Remix – $2.99 $.99
    Galaga Remix – $2.99 $.99
    Mr. Driller – $1.99 $.99

It looks like Namco has taken a cue from EA, which is having an equally-tempting holiday sale this weekend. And even if you're over Pac-Man, why not pick up Dig Dug or Galaga--if those games kept you up for hours at night back in the day, what's to stop them now? Just remember to, you know, interact with your friends and family this weekend at the barbecue.
