Frogger xboxlive arcade review

The controls at my local arcade where mucked up, or maybe i really was crap, but it still didn't stop me donating large amounts of cash to the frogger cause. Now it's all yours for 400 Microsoft points (£3.40 €4.65 USD$5). Eurogamer and gamespot have dusted off their happy memories too and reviewed the latest addition to xboxlive arcade.

  1. lovely and retro... Still too expensive. One can find roms or frogger variations for free. Just like pr0n.

  5. i lost one of the bells though, and it's very hot to wear in this weather,

    ammm i checked the terms and conditions on the retro site and it said nothing about having to wear a hat, or indeed about the pain and deriscion I've experienced...... are you sure i must wear it?

  6. Must is too strong a wors... I'd use "ought to" instead. It's like an unwritten law.. An etiquette thing.

  9. your right, im just being negative... though my hair is coming out in clumps now..... calomille lotion should do it, or you wouldn't have a recommendation?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Camomile sounds fine.. i add any random herb though. Just to make sure.

    In clumps?

    Hmmm...

  11. (tries to peer over Gnomes shoulder... but he can't see whats written on the tiny vellum pages.....)

    ReplyDelete
  14. (runs off to the toilet, washes his hands runs back......runs back to the toilet dries his hands...... runs back)

    yep

    ReplyDelete
  15. Are they dry?

    ReplyDelete
  16. uh huh! look (holds up hands for gnome to inspect.....)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Ok... you may touch it now...

    Please dont drool on it though... It's quite rare y' know.. only a million of these were printed...

    ReplyDelete
  18. ah yes but a population of close(?)to a billion makes it a rare item indeed....

    (wipes drool string away from his chin)

    okay now?

    (holds chin up for inspection.)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yes. Nice and drool-less.

    On the other hand, I do believe that most Chinese don't easily read English texts...

    Anyway, go on, touch it.

  20. (gently places the index finger of his right hand on the red piece of World history........looks at gnome)

    Mao?

    ReplyDelete
  21. wow... this is what multiplayer on a nintendo DS must feel like......

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with Mao.. right?

    ReplyDelete
  23. well not really but understanding the complexity of such a diminutive publication by comparing it to today's populist cultural phenomenons could help lay the building blocks in understanding the maoist mentality....... and better help us assimilate his teachings....

    (cough!.......)

  24. You maysit now.. The commitee has fully appreciated your pure vison.

    Now, it's time for a bit of the International anthem.
