Guinness Foreign Extra (Guinness)

Guinness Foreign Extra
Name: Guinness Foreign Extra
Label: "Genuine Quality - St. James's Gate Dublin"
Brewery: Guinness
ABV: 7.5%

Rating: It's not an ale, it's a stout. So what?  Just realised there are two "n"'s in Guinness.

Game: Can Iron Man 2 break the trend of shite movie tie-in games? This is going to shock an awe you into next week... Of course.... it can't break the trend. It has lived up to expectations as mediocrity in game form and weirdly not even as much fun as the first one. I still secretly like it though because it's Iron Man and it's Marvel.  Here's my full review: www.frugalgaming.co.uk/?p=20427

Pedigree V.S.O.P. (Marston's)

Pedigree V.S.O.P
Name: Pedigree V.S.O.P.
Label: "Very Special Old Pale - V.S.O.P. combines maris otter barley malt with fuggles, goldings and sovereign hops to produce a very special pale ale of exceptional character - Matured in the Burton Union oak barrels - Limited edition bottle: 20136"
Brewery: Marston's
ABV: 6.7%

Rating: For a minute I did actually wonder what V.S.O.P. stood for...

Game: The boss of Frugal Gaming is sending me a copy of Ironman 2 to review. How awesome is that, getting sent a game to review! I liked the first game to be honest, yes it was frustrating, yes it was repetitive, but there was something about it that made it fun, and for a movie tie-in it was pretty good. So I hold out hope that Ironman 2 will have improved on the first one and will be pretty good even though it's a Marvel / movie tie-in. Even if it's not that good, I can't complain because it's just ace reviewing and playing games!
