Namco Networks is kicking off the launch of Apple’s iPad with three games for the new device – Pac-Man for iPad, Pool Pro Online and Noby Noby Boy, for $4.99, $6.99 and $1.99 respectively.

Pool Pro Online is the iPad version of an app that Namco introduced for the iPhone in March. Based around Namco’s UniteSDK, the game enables iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users to square off against each other online, while chatting, sharing scores and posting achievements via Facebook.

Pac-Man is based on the popular coin-operated arcade game from the 1980s, featuring a yellow mouth that moves around a maze being chased by ghosts – a game celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Your job is to eat all the pellets while avoiding the ghosts unless you consume a power pellet; then you can turn the tables and chase the ghosts for a few moments.

Noby Noby Boy is being offered as a free update to the iPhone app, making it now work natively on the iPad as well. Made by the creator of the hit PlayStation game Katamari Damacy, Noby Noby Boy lets you move and stretch a pink creature in as many directions as you want. The game – more of a general-purpose app – also features other capabilities and functions.
