Pac-Xon

Most people reading this site are probably familiar with mashups and if you aren't the basic concept involves taking content from more than one source in order to create a new service. It is certainly a growing trend on the internet and a fun one at that. However, what you don't see nearly as often are gaming mashups: enter Pac-Xon. This game combines the classic arcade title, Pac-Man, with Xonix. Now I know I don't need to introduce Pac-Man to anyone under the age of 100, however Xonix might not ring too many bells. The title requires you to close out areas of a game board without the enemy hitting either your character (in this case Pac-Man) or the line you are drawing. For those of you growing up with the original Game Boy you might remember this game as Qix. Pac-Xon is a highly addictive hybrid and should be given a try by anybody that is a fan of either of the original titles or is simply looking for a good time.
