Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions 3DS will mesh modern and retro gaming with a collection of six games on one cartridge.

Celebrating Pac Man's 30th anniversary, and following up early success on the original DS (Pac 'n Roll and Pac Pix) Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions 3DS includes a series of new and classic games. The original arcade versions of Pac-Man and Galaga will be presented with a 3D effect to mimic looking into an arcade cabinet.

Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions are also part of the package. These are popular modern iterations of the series on Xbox Live Arcade and other platforms, although it's a shame the more recent Pac-Man Champion Edition DX won't be included.

New titles created exclusively for the 3DS release are Pac-Man Tilt and Galaga 3D Impact. Pac-Man Tilt is the only part of Dimensions restricted to 2D. It's a side-scrolling platformer controlled using the 3DS's tilt sensor. You will navigate Pac-Man through a series of puzzles, avoiding ghosts and taking advantage of springs and pinball flippers. Galaga 3D Impact is an on-rails shooter, moving the action to a first-person perspective for blasting away alien invaders. Using the gyroscope, you will need to move the DS and your body to aim and dodge incoming attacks.

Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions for 3DS is scheduled for release June 2011.

"As an 80s kid I was obsessed with gaming. But university, stress and life relegated my hobby to the backseat. After years in the wilderness, I'm back into video games. I don't just want to play games that remind of a happy youth though. I'm just as excited about games that take things forward, experiences that re-ignite that curiosity and fascination I had years ago."

Here are the games I've been playing recently:

With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. Sorry about that.

But so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it. So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy.

What sort of gamer are you?
