$10 for Frogger 2 seems like a lot, but remember that it's NOT an arcade port - it's a new title. I expect to pay $5 for arcade/console ports and arcade expansion packs, $10 for new games and $12 for something special that took a lot of work.

Still, unless it really kicks butt I'd bet that we'll see Frogger 2 on the downsize list in six months. Who is the demographic for that game?

Google "Ninja Gaiden 2 demo download. Download the torrent, burn the content folder to a dvd, and play the demo from the Demos section under My Games on the Dashboard. Unfortunately, the demo only has Path of the Acolyte playable. I believe that the demo downloaded from XBL has the other difficulties playable.

Anon 23,

Many people have been having the ip block problem lately, myself included. I have a U.S., but I am currently PCSing in Egypt. I emailed Major Nelson about it and he stated that it is up to the publisher as to where/when content is released. So, then I contacted Hothead Games about the ip block on Penny Arcade Episode One. They said that they have been contacted by a number of people having the same problem and that they were trying to contact Microsoft to find out about the situation. So, we have two people from two companies blaming each other for causing the problem and I am inclined to believe Hothead considering the way Microsoft has been handling its PR lately.

So SFIITHDR beta. We need this why? We all know it's going to be the game we've wanted for years (high-res sprites) crippled by another shocking Dpad.

Oh and Frogger 2 for 800ms!? I can't help but side with the masses when something laong the lines of SORN is the same price... and no, the answer is not to up the price of the good games to 1200ms.

Commando seems good though.

Microsoft doesn't set the prices on xbla games, the developers do! Stop Whining about it.

When I first saw Frogger 2, I thought "hmm... maybe they did a Pacman CE or something with it, that might be kinda cool." Then I clicked on the link, and the first thing that came to my mind was not Frogger, Pacman CE, or anything resembling gaming. I thought of that old cartoon abomination "Muppet Babies." Nobody over the age of three can possibly find this art "style" interesting. My daughter would love it... but she's one, and can't quite figure out a controller yet, so maybe you skewed a bit too young on this Namco? I think most people interested in a Frogger "2" would bit a fair bit over 30, and also already own the console you made it for, and would gladly part with $10 for an updated version, but what do I know about making money?

Commando 3 looks interesting, I will give the demo a look.
