    Just in time for your journey into town to get your Christmas shopping together, Episode -2 of Brake For Frogger lands. It's been nearly a fortnight since the record but we'd lost the gift wrap...or something. Euan, Alan and Cam cover a whole heap of gaming in this episode including Arkham Origins, WWE 2K14, The Wolf Among Us and the first storyline DLC of Bioshock Infinite in the shape of Buried At Sea. Al meanwhile finally tells us which game he bought for £30 but is worth £100 with the box and instructions and gives details of his N64 Japanese import woe (clue- it's more complex than he ever thought possible). Also Kyle has a go of Lego Marvel Superheroes on the 360 as well. The boys can be followed on Twitter on @wanderingeuan, @geordiealan and @cripleh. Please get in touch with your guesses as to how much Alan paid for an unboxed copy of Sunset Riders on the Super Nintendo. The winner gets nothing. Good luck!

    A technical glitch of somebody losing our headphone splitter means that Euan is left a little high and dry before this record so wasn’t able to join us. Tom, Alan and Cam instead talk through the Mass Effect series (Cam currently on 2, Tom blasting his way through 3), Alan starts singing Erasure as he plays Robot Unicorn Attack and WWE Wrestlefest on his brand new iPad which he ended up queuing for on release day. For some reason this ends up with us talking about the 1987 He-Man movie in far too much detail. The situation with Game is the topic for our half arsed attempt at a news section in which Cam edited out seven and a half minutes of waffle about Tesco. That’s waffle about Tesco, not buying waffles in Tesco. Alan then opens his Retro games Emporium with a talk about the Dizzy series from Codemasters. It leads to a lot of talk about eggs. That’s just eggs, not buying eggs in Tesco. Cam reviews both I Am Alive and Street Fighter x Tekken whilst Tom casts his critical eye over Mass Effect 3. Alan meanwhile considers a new career move. We apologise for the late running of the podcast, this was due to leaves on the line. Enjoy Episode 3.3.

In a record (and we apologise for this in advance) plagued by lost microphones and occasional syncing issues, Cameron, Alan, Tom and Euan mull over games such as Yakuza 4, Mass Effect 2 and Dark Souls in the 'What Ya Playing?' section, Cameron kicks off his regular 'Ocarina About Bloody Time' slot with an amusing critique, Alan talks about aging football games in his 'Retro Emporium', and Secret Salmon drops in again with more tasty morsels of gaming news(!).

    Euan makes the journey down from Kilmarnock to join the rest of the Brake For Frogger clan in Gretna. The Skype chat isn't dormant however as Evil Ninja Phil of Sonic's Ring stops watching Lord of the Rings long enough to join in the conversation. Whatcha Playing features more Arkham City talk (but no spoilers) alongside some retro gems. The Retro Games Emporium finds Alan dusting off the shelves in time for Christmas and attempting to sell off some stock if the price is right. In the home stretch Phil has some questions about topics covered in podcasts of old. For the final time this season Lexie advances the Fluffy Kitten by pretending to be Catwoman and the Co-Op Shop returns as the boys play through the Kane & Lynch series! Enjoy Episode 2.11!

    After a summer of upheaval and turbulence, the four intrepid crusaders of Brake for Frogger gather together, have a thinking session, write a few things down and then come up with Episode 2.8. This one is probably the closest we've got to how we want Brake for Frogger to be which basically means we've broken up the bits of us talking with all kinds of random sections. 'Whatcha Playing?' this month features Tom's Minecraft Pocket sessions, Euan's wander in Bastion, Cam's Patrick Stewart impression and Al's washing machine. The Random Topic Generator takes a Stalinist turn and Alan's Retro Games Emporium features added Nurse Gladys Emmanuel thanks to EvilNinjaPhil of Sonic's Ring fame. Added to this, Lexie turns her attention to Left4Dead 2 and demands wet wipes as a result, the Co-Op Shop has an awkward customer in the shape of GLaDOS, the debut of Secret Salmon, the return of the Rev, the solo review gets godly in From Dust and we even end with a trailer for next month. Organised to the max. this month. Enjoy, comment, retweet, shout about us from the rooftops!

    Episode 2.7 of Brake For Frogger was actually discovered caked in dust at the back of a shelf somewhere (possibly due to being underpowered and having a lack of third party support). At last, after plenty of delays and various setbacks we're back again. This episode starts with a fan e-mail, the 'What You Been Playing' section covers Tom's near addiction to MMORPG Rift, Cam's raiding of the second hand section, Euan's sweary shooting time with Bulletstorm and Alan gritting his teeth over Trials HD. We also have a half hearted attempt at a news section which doesn't end well. Curzon and Marwood finally get their Co-Op Shop back up and running (sorry for leaving it so long boys, back regular now yeah?) and Alan opens his Retro Games Emporium with the words 'Yipeekiay!'.
