Game drought? What iPod game drought? Sure, the past three months might have been a tad arid for iPod gamers, but that's all in the past now that Namco has announced that the sequel to Pac-Man is available for fifth-generation iPods.

Like other iPod games, Ms. Pac-Man will set you back $4.99 (practically free!) via the iTunes store. The reps from Namco call the iPod release "a great way to kick-off a year-long anniversary celebration." They are referring, of course, to the 26-year anniversary of Ms. Pac-Man's arcade release, a milestone no corporation should ever miss a chance to capitalize upon.

Ms. Pac-Man brings the iPod gaming library up to a very respectable twelve games. I can't wait to hit a baker's dozen! Michael McWhertor
