   Just came across this particle system and have been tinkering with it. I would like to create an effect where the particles are emitted from a shining light and grow so they look like they are flying towards the screen. Kinda like the "Blackberry Loves U2" commercial.

   I know I can't match it exactly because it is AfterEffects but is a similar effect achievable?

   Yes.
   
   You can either use a 2D particle system and add a ScaleImage effect, or use a 3D particle system and the scaling will happen as the particles approach the camera.
