Pacman On Google.com Homepage

Pacman Game Is Now Permanent on Google.com 's Homepage

The classic games, pacman can be played on google's search engine residing at google.com/pacman.

According to the official google blog, the pacman game is permanently made available, post dated just last May 23, 2010.

Pac-Man Rules! is the post title, which is one of the shortest post google blog has ever made.

We've been overwhelmed — but not surprised :) -Google

But according to reviews, google's pacman games has consumed noticable surfers time, which all are going to wastes.

Here's a quote I extracted from pcworld.com:

Great, so millions of people spent their precious weekend minutes (hours?) maneuvering a maze and gobbling up pac-dots. Problem is, their Pac-Man addiction may have crossed over into the workplace too.

Furthermore, the "Rescue Time Blog" blog detailly calculated the time internet surfers are spending on google pacman.

The average user spent 36 seconds more than usual on Google.com on Friday.

· Google Pac-Man consumed 4,819,352 hours of time.

· Lost productivity totaled $120,483,800, assuming the average Google user has a cost of $25/hour.

· That $120 million is enough to pay all 19,835 Google employees for 6 weeks.

-The Tragic Cost of Google Pac-Man – 4.82 million hours

Now, that's a pretty bad review as I can see it. But I don't blame Google for this, there's a lot of gaming websites there which also steal our valuable ours right? First, Google doesn't redirect you to google.com/pacman, and secondly, Google never force anyone to play the game.

Who knows, Google may create google.com/snakes too right?

Here's a youtube video about google pacman


I didn't know you can play two pacman at a time using arrow keys and wasd keys, great!
