The hits just keep on coming on Xbox Live Arcade. The latest coin-op classic to hit the service is a touching tale of a boy, his bicycle, and an unrelenting urge to smash all things breakable with tightly-rolled wads of tree byproducts. Paperboy was - and still is - an awesome game. At least, if you%26rsquo;re looking for a s🍒hort diversion... say, something you might spend $0.25 a pop for.

Paperboy on the 360 is an authentic recreation of the mid-80s arcade machine, save for the absence of the original's bike handlebar-style controller. And that means that this latest console iteration of Paperboy suffers from the same problem that%26rsquo;s been plaguing the remakes since they first started appearing on t🎉he NES: imprecise control.
