In fact some satire is depressing, and violent, and a tragedy. Only the modern context has forced many to view comedy as a requirement for satire. I think my favorite is the rip on Nolan Bushnell... those in the Halo community will know what I'm talking about. ;) Well done. Excellent writing. Satire doesn’t have to be funny.

Those with any literary knowledge or even a small understanding of both games should be able to pick out the subtle points embedded in this well-crafted essay.

This is like comparing a 2007 Camaro to a 1908 Model T Ford. Not only that, what's with the poor quality pic comparison in yesterday's Pac Man and today's Halo? Sorry, it seems to be a little bias here when I've seen plenty of HIGH quality Halo screenshots out there. Just do a simple internet search and you'll find one. I respect the author's view of this article but I strongly disagree with them. I do remember "Pac Man Fever" since I was an 80's gamer too (darn, I may have given away my age). Even though that was a great era for "dawn" of gaming, they still don't compare to the "next gen" console games. You can’t be serious, right?

You're the villain. The ghosts are the spirits of those who died because of Pac-Man's gluttony. He ate all the food and they died. Now they haunt him, trying to end his destructive gluttonous madness to save the lone few survivors. Actually, though it was never published, I figured out the storyline to Pac-Man a LONG time ago.
