Fallout: New Vegas DLC edition!
Dead Money: For the first release, it’s quite difficult, mostly dealing with certain areas that will make you explode.
Honest Hearts: Not terrible in terms of adventuring and quests, but the terrain(mostly mountains) is very brain aching.
Old World Blues: Very funny, good experience gains, a few particular glitches, but probably the best out of the four.
Lonesome Road: Assuming it’s a good end piece, but the multiple Deathclaws are preventing any forward progress.

Three simple words. Pizza. Versus. Skeletons.
You are a pizza. You must fight skeletons, beat them in snowboard challenges, rescue puppies and then sumo wrestle giant skulls off cliffs. It is excellent. -

Pinball Arcade is out for the iOS, TOTAN is free. Just downloaded it, I’ll let you know.
So far there are 4 tables available, TOTAR (Tales of the Arabian Nights), Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Black Hole and Theatre of Magic. All of these are classic table and all from different manufacturers.
I believe there are 2 more tables promised soon, at least that’s what I thought I read when I immediately plugged in my 10 bucks for all tables offered (like a spastic goof). The tables are available individually for 2 bucks a piece or free to try until you get the high score.
This is definitely a package that I hope gets some major updates. The tables are not iPad quality (although the game is an asterisk title), the texture maps are low resolution.
All the elements that need to be fixed; Improved resolution, skill shots are not possible as the camera shifts to the front of the table to pull back the plunger instead of switching overhead to allow using the plunger meter markings, the dot matrix display is called a HUD and does not emulate dot matrix, the cameras force portrait mode of the IPad but the table is always angled back – if portrait mode is forced then I’d like a more top down view of the playfield.
Far Sight has some great licenses here and the physics are nice but they really need to step up the quality. To me the audience is going to be real pinball enthusiasts in which case the DMD, camera angles and Plunger elements need to be fixed or the folks who enjoy Zen Pinball in which case the graphics will need to be higher quality.
The iOS – Android developers are known to be more responsive to the public with updates and I hope this title follows suit. This is a great way to experience these tables for the first time or play them on the go and I really want it to live up to what I had expected.

Puzzle juice is a puzzle game that promises to ’punch your brain in the face’ and it kind of does, being a Tetris like, a match three game and a word game all in one. Pieces fall and you make lines or isolate like colors to turn blocks into letters to make words. Similar in its achievement driving progress structure to something like shibuya. Me like.

Saints Row: The Third(XB360): On virtually any playthrough, I can parachute from my jet-bike, attack people in mascot suits with my gang of ninjas, wrestlers, and gimps, or jump in my giant 8-bit tank(Complete with pixel cannon) and destroy innocent cars with Burt Reynolds.
If this doesn’t make you want to get this game, NOTHING WILL.
I am having tons of fun with this game…and the music is just as good as the game.
Running from the cops while the theme song from the Venture Bros. is playing is so fun.

Recent iPhone goodie- Justin Smith’s Realistic Summer Sports Simulator, which is anything but. If you’re familiar with Smith’s previous outing Envirobear 2000, you might have an idea of what to expect- MS Paint style visuals and intentionally bad controls leading to physics based hilarity. Far better than I just made it sound.
iPhone baddie- Street Wrestling. This is a Lucha themed beat ’em up that the eagle eyed may recognize as actually being XBLA game Lucha Fury, which reviewed horrendously last summer before being pulled and picked up by chillingo. Dull beat em up, not even making much of the wrestling theme (hey, I liked the story mode in wrestlemania xix) and now with tiny hard to press virtual buttons.
iPhone middlie- Wrestling Manager, which sadly isn’t a Jimmy Hart sim, but is a booking simmulator where you spend in game cash on card packs that contain different wrestlers and gimmicks that you plug into shows. Initially too bare bones but it is steadily being updated. Bit expensive though, especially considering it tries to get you to spill more cash to buy good cards faster. I hate freemium, but this could actually be an amazing freemium game if they tweaked it a bit.
Just now heard the newest episode, so rsss comments a bit redundant. Right on though.

Super Mario 3D Land (3DS):Yes, it’s very pretty, but absolutely no new ground is broken in terms of gameplay, which doesn’t mean it’s not fun.

iPad owners: someone snuck a version of MAME into the app store. There is no way this will last so get it while it’s hot. Note that you’ll have to use a third party utility to actually load ROMs into the thing. Also, the ROMsets you want are for 0.37b5, not the new hotness.
iTunes download:

If you’re looking for some pinball in the NJ area, nothing beats this place in Asbury Park: http://silverballmuseum.com/
I only spent a 1/2 hour there recently, and it wasn’t enough time to try a fourth of the machines they have at their location. I’m definitely making a trip back out there as soon as possible.

Shadows of the Damned: It’s a fun, albeit short, over the shoulder shooter, but the lack of wrestling moves from a Suda 51 game is surprising.

All I want to hear is that Pinbot and Bride of Pinbot will be coming out for this game.
Although not as popular, I love Jackbot as well. It brought a Dot Matrix Display to the series and the art gave us a deeper look into the robot relationship. Pinbot also made a guest appearance as a customer inTaxi.

20th anniversary edition of Eric chahi (from dust)’s seminal Amiga/pc adventure another world is out today. It handles surprisingly well thanks to a reengineered control system that uses taps and swipes rather than the lazy virtual dpad route. Very much of its time (it is essentially a trial and error driven memory test) but tells story through gameplay better than most modern games and creates a hell of an atmosphere.

Jetpack joyride- another endless runner sure, but halfbricks latest has some great powerups, a nice shibuya esque structure where getting game center achievements is how you advance in the game so you have to change up your playstyle all the time, the whole central conceit is that you have a jetpack that flies by the recoil of machine guns attached to the bottom for crying out loud, AND the main character is called Barry Steakfries. What’s not to like?

I have the feeling if the We Talk Games crew can’t help me here, no one can. Has anyone played Pachinko Challenger for the SNES? I think I’ve got a decent handle on the actual Pachinko parts, but my total lack of Japanese understanding has me confused if there’s any greater goal to the game.
The bad news is you’ve most likely seen the whole game. Put in money, watch a few hundred ball stutter around the screen, trey to make things spin to get more balls and money, get to a higher level.
The good news is, all the pachinko games for the SNES stink so you didn’t just pick a bad one.
Coconuts makes the best pachinko titles in my opinion and they have a few on the SNES (SFC). They created the Pachinko Wars series and even have three Pachio Kun titles, the same in the series I mention for the PC Engine. Pachio Kun Special 3 is the strongest title (although there is plenty of Japanese text as in the others) but, all of them are pretty devoid of the interesting stories that the PC Engine has. Plus, the most interesting element on the PC Engine titles is the use of the pachinko controller.
Moving a little dot with a digital cross pad to control the power of an onscreen pachinko trigger took away everything that a fella like me could find charming. It was the controller that really made me want to invest time in the PC Engine titles and then the whacky stories and animation really drew me in.
Now, if you do dig Challenger and want to explore more, Pachio Kun 3 and Pachinko War 2 are your best bet. Just realize that you still may have no clue as to what the goal is or how to know when you’re through (or in the case of War 2, how to get out of the first casino). But, unlike Challenger, both titles use a save feature, having to type in an all Japanese password makes Challenger a great bookshelf conversation piece.
