New iPod games have been few and far between in recent months, but Apple just added another one to its iTunes Store. Ms. Pac-Man is the game, and it's a faithful conversion of the classic arcade game.

Ms. Pac-Man has four unique maze designs, and 256 levels to chomp your way through. The game also features the animated intermissions from the original arcade game, for added authenticity.

There'll be three game modes too. Original is, well, the original in all its pixelly glory. Normal mode has been specially tuned for the iPod, while Easy is... We'll let you guess that one.

As with all iPod games, you can opt to use your own tunes as the soundtrack, or have the game's own sounds instead. And there's a high-score table to boot.

We weren't too keen on iPod Pac-Man, due to its fiddly controls, so here's hoping Ms. Pac-Man has corrected that fault. We'll let you know when we've had a good play. In the meantime, check out our pick of the iPod games.
