Will feature over 30 titles including Pac-Man Championship Edition.

Namco Bandai Games today announced that Namco Museum: Virtual Arcade will be available in European stores for Xbox 360 in April.

The retro games compilation will offer over 30 titles - the most comprehensive Namco collection to date - and will feature a mix of legendary games, Xbox LIVE Arcade releases and new twists of classics.

The Xbox LIVE Arcade titles included in the collection will be Pac-Man Championship Edition and Dig Dug. The much loved Galaga, Dig Dug and Pac-Man will receive new twists and a fresh look in new arrangements. Players will also have access to more than 20 retro favourites such as Dig Dug II, Pole Position and Pac-Mania.

Part of the fun in arcade games is competing for high scores. 360 owners will be able to compete for high scores thanks to online leaderboards, and a range of multiplayer modes will be available on certain titles.
