Cancelled NBC game show 1 vs 100 made its way from TV, to the Xbox Live Primetime Network and now is tackling gaming’s fastest growing frontier, Facebook.

Casual game publisher iWin and TV production company Endemol USA have issued a press release revealing a 1 vs 100 game is coming to Facebook Spring 2011.

The IBM supercomputer Watson, which you may have seen in recent commercials, bested game show legend Ken Jennings in a Jeopardy test run.

Pac-Man is a cultural icon. He’s had numerous games, an animated television show and more products than anyone can count in his three decades of existence. Pac-Man has always done quite well for himself, but there are some people in the world that want to bring Pac-Man into 2011 in a different way. Pac-Man needs to be hip and exciting.

Gamertell spoke with THQ game producer, Adam Affrunti, about the latest Wheel of Fortune game (to be released November 2, 2010, for Wii and DS).
