Every night at 12:15 AM Pacific, Amazon gives away a free paid app through their Amazon app store. As I am usually awake at 12:15 AM Pacific, why not let you know if today\u2019s app is useful, or just more clutter in your app drawer?<\/em><\/p>\n

“Jerry, I’ve been preparing for this moment my entire life.” \u00a0— George Costanza, Seinfeld<\/em>\u00a0S9E18, “The Frogger”<\/p>\n

You’ll have to pardon the Seinfeld <\/em>quotes in today’s SnApp Judgment — today’s free app is Frogger<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>by\u00a0Konami Digital Entertainment<\/a>, which usually runs $.99. If you’ve never played any version of Frogger <\/em>before… what the hell is wrong with you? It’s Frogger<\/em>! One of the seminal arcade classics! The one good thing that George Costanza ever did with his entire life! “Oh, I was unstoppable. Perfect combination of Mountain Dew and mozzarella. Just a right amount of grease on the joystick.”<\/p>\n

Seriously, if you have ever considered yourself a gamer, you should have played Frogger<\/em>\u00a0at some point. This version for Android feels like a fairly faithful adaptation. A couple things have changed — the graphics are better (although I almost wish there was a 80s graphics mode, just for nostalgia’s sake), there are a variety of touch controls (make sure you select the right one, it defaults on slide, not tap, and I thought the game was broken at first), and a phantom mode, letting you race against your old games, which is cool. The only negative is they changed the iconic opening music, heard here in Buckner and Garcia’s Froggy’s Lament<\/em>. As free video games go, this one is pretty awesome.<\/p>\n
