Thunderbolt Games Review Frogger

Thunderbolt Games: "It's irking to see a series with plenty of untapped potential fail to claim what's rightfully made possible through the immediate gratification of a platform such as the Xbox 360's Live Arcade. Although perhaps we should be thankful that the developer's didn't over-exert themselves over another broken platformer nightmare, such as so many Xbox titles. Sticking to your guns sometimes is the most appropriate move you can make, although the achieved end result might not be spectacular. While I don't believe this was the right thing to do entirely in this particular situation, god bless Konami for not continuing upon the downward spiral that had been every sequel to the Frogger saga. The better way to go might've been not to release Frogger as a singular game, or to hold off on some kind of Konami's Greatest Hits compilation."

Best Konami video games of all time

Recognised as one of the biggest video game manufacturers not just in Japan, but worldwide, it’s no wonder that Konami are still running high. Founded in 1969, the firm initially began as a repair and rental business in Osaka for Jukeboxes and arcade cabinets, but by the 1970’s they were designing video games.

To celebrate Konami’s fruitful past, however, we’re looking back at some of the best and most influential games that Konami has ever released.

Thankfully the Netflix show and the awesome PC game CASTLEVANIA LACARDE CHRONICLES 2 came out this year. When Konami decided to become scumbags, fans stepped in.

Basically one games fanbase doesn't like them. They want everybody else who plays games to hate Konami at the same level they do.

The problem is this......most video gamers are Not Kojima fanboys and don't even worry or think about this stuff.

Konami still makes PES and it's a solid franchise and they still hold the rights to some of my favorite past games like Suikoden, Sunset Riders & Mysitcal Ninja
