And now for an abyss-like biased review of PAC MAN.

Gameplay: I almost crapped my pants when I first picked up the Atari 2600 cartridge of Pac Man because Pac Man looked so cool like me and the ghosts looked so real that I almost sharted... embarassing. So then I put the game into my Atari and I was like "WHOOAAAAAA" Mind-blowing. All those colours and crap made this game really colourful and to make things better, I decided to switch my console from B&W to Colour and I was really blown away by all the colors. So anyway, you play this round circle with a pie-slice missing from it, and it goes all WAKKA-WAKKA-WAKKA and eats up these little dots and you get points. Pac Man? Moar like FAT man amirite? Anyway, that's cool, I'm a lot like the yellow circle because I am kinda fat and I eat lots of stuff, but I've never eaten dots before I wonder what dots taste like. So anyway, you're all like WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA and eating dots and shit then you have to at the same time try to not get eaten yourself by ghosts which are like skinny and stuff... I dunno how they even eat. Do ghosts do that? So anyway, to get around the ghost situation, there are these big red dots in the corners of the screen and when your fatty Pac Man eats one, the ghosts all go blue and you can WAKKA WAKKA right up to them and eat the ghosts and when you eat the blue ghosts you get points for it, so you really want to time it right so you can eat the most ghosts while you still have the powerup which only lasts for a few seconds. The game is really challenging and original. I give it a 9/10. If it had Duke Nukem in it, I'd have given it a 10

Graphics: Mindblowing. Holy crap, I've never seen such smooth circles on an Atari before. It was like I was playing into the future. The ghosts are really scary, too. EEK! And all those noises and songs and stuff, they get stuck in your head. Sometimes when I'm walking I catch myself making that wakka wakka noise, lol. 10/10

Replay: The game is pretty much always the same, but it's so mindblowingly awesome that you can't STOP eating dots and ghosts and crap because it's so mindblowing. Man, I could play this shizz all day long and never get bored of it for like weeks. 10/10

Overall: As mentioned in the other parts, this game is awesome because you play a guy that eats everything all the time and I think that's awesome. The controls are smooth and that makes controlling stuff easy. It does get hard sometimes because the ghosties trap you into corners and get you a lot, so it's not easy and because of that I'm going to have to take off a point due to it's hardness. 9/10

I'm tempted to move this to 'Game Reviews'.

I give your abyss-like review a 4/10. Not enough typos.
