Crossy Roads Update: A Satisfying Buzz for Retro Gamers

Players who have been around the block will get a true sense of satisfaction from eventually unlocking (or purchasing) a frog to replace their trusty chicken in Crossy Road. At first, you start out as a clever chicken and not a frog, but that doesn't change the fact that there are still roads and rivers to cross one step at a time. The modern twist is collecting coins to unlock new playable characters, giving the classic arcade game a fresh spin.

Despite being the 21st century's answer to Frogger, Crossy Road remains surprisingly unchanged from its retro roots. This has an unexpected knock-on effect - bumping what was once the second most important question (involving a chicken, of course) up to the number one spot. The game continues to plague us with this question mark over and over again.

Thanks to the Spierig brothers for helping to shorten my bucket list with their time-traveling head trip film Predestination, which recently answered the age-old question of the chicken and the egg - or should I say, it's the second most important question of all time?
