Jacksonville, FL
Its basically a game for kids and families. Mostly good flow, snappy enough flippers, ok ball lock gimmicks, video mode pinball is trash, audio levels are all over the place and it feels more like a casino game presentation wise than not in video/audio assets...

Legends of Valhalla American Pinball, 2021
Farrrrr better than I expected shots and flow wise but glitchy code, basically trash fake animations, bad art and feels totally boutique...

Alien (Standard) Pinball Brothers, 2020
When working 100% it is my favorite Widebody of all time!
Things came unplugged under the playfield, auto launch code is crap, coding of coin op is stupid giving 1/8 credits on display and left side flippers high power hold being intermittent out of the box is a joke. Hopefully all things can be fixed and updated.

The total package for real.
The best Kaiju themed pinball ever.
For the above average player its a good balance of fun and challenge combined.
Can't wait to played completed code Edition.
I've got a PRO on location, but for home I'd have a Premium version.

Rush (Pro) Stern, 2022
I'm very pleasantly surprised overall.
The worst ball plunge path designed ever as it can fly straight back and up into a metal post, seriously Borgie?
Very good flow vs his last game TMNT.
Callouts range from cringe af to ok to kinda funny.
Launch from the scoop down the middle is sad...
Animations are quite decent overall.

Ultraman (Collectors Edition) Spooky Pinball, 2021
So after 63 plays it blows the fuse for the left flipper, ball trough eject and auto launch (why use mini 3amp slow blow fuses?). Incomplete & mind boggling code missing many basic things in settings but they'll give epic settings like "enable flippers", is that a fucking inside joke? Not out of the box ready for location really. Hilarious yet sad glitches like it saying "CREDIT UP" while actually playing lol. Many other boo boos I'll document soon.
So after higher value of fuses its currrently working.
Some good flow and ok combo shots.
The left ramp for being so wide is brick city.
Inadvertently making 3 scoop shots on the left is oook.
Speed of the loops is good.
Mini shot on the right above the right sling gets stuck.
Some of the animations have artifacting effects.
No tilt animations (I'm fond of tilt animations).
Like subwoofer and shaker effects feel good with this theme.
General public seem to be drawn to it and dig it.

Godzilla (Pro) Stern, 2021
Now this is a refreshing game by Stern. Some killer flow, combos, modes, sound fx, different usage of the action button and a cool magna-captive ball. Delightful on the eyes art as always by Zombie Yeti! After the non-intriguing Mandalorian & Snorefest Zeppelin fiiiiiinally another game I'd be proud to have on location not just as a trendy or nostalgic cash grab...

The Mandalorian (Pro) Stern, 2021
Funky and but not so fun layout.
Mine upper playfield area is silly flap the flipper kinda fun.
The main ramp does rejects some shots which is pathetic...
Middle handing target is just clunky and not gratifying.
Baby yoda does nothing and is the size of a spaceship what a joke...
No Cara Dune is a joke.
Impossible mode is good though.
I dig the trade beskar for items.

No... just no...
Left ramp flops up & down...
Couldn't they make a new more appropriate ramp?
Starting one of the multiball via just repeat left ramp shots?
The art on the cabinet is like poor man's version of dirty donny...
The big hole of the playfield with nothing in the back left corner can't be avoided, why not a ramp that loops up and around that area?

Hot Wheels American Pinball, 2020
Theme is only for kids and hot wheels collectors.
The light show makes it very hard to track the ball in a dark room, who the hell just codes G.I. to just be 1 color so much of the time.
Basic fan layout with moments of uniqueness...
Some of sound fx and flow at times...
No loop or jump ramp, really?

Its just unique, challenging, fun, dynamic and intense enough to inspire replay after replay after replay. It is as some would call it a concert in a box. This world underglass is a balance of risk reward that sets up any easy initial multiball but very challenging path to complete full song multiball modes.

Top tier Stern/Modern pinball.
Great art, shots, animations & modes.
Still not fond of overkill light show flashing in modern games which deter from tracking ball at all times (anti-glare glass helps that...)
Call outs are oook but not 80s cartoon ok.

Rick and Morty (Blood Sucker Edition) Spooky Pinball, 2020
he best Spooky to date! Challenging, dynamic, whimsical & unique machine. It is one of few games that truly makes you better at making pinball shots. Many possible combo shots. The pop bumper helps more than hurts (you can at times bump the ball into the center scoop from it). Refreshing to play. Non-buyers remorse...
I'm not fond of how the flipper area of the armor feels.

After complaining about getting an artist, coder and making a layout behind a paradise of symmetry they progressed but didn't fully succeed.

The Beatles (Gold Edition) Stern, 2018
Played at IAAPA 2018
Pros:
Art, Animation, Music, Fast, Best parts of Seawitch, Fast Spinners, Challenging, Feels like a great mix of styles and features from EM/Solid State/Modern era games, Different, Unique, Relatively low production run.
Cons:
Price, Minor fine details missing (golden caster feet and bolts?), would prefer being able to pick songs instead of so much integration of songs into modes, would like live versions of each song, relatively low production run, a few inches shorter than common Stern, would like an action button (kinda kidding but would.
Overall a good single level game on a theme past due for a pinball machine.

Alien Heighway Pinball, 2017
So, after playing an ALIEN this weekend a lot in a home environment with the volume up and an external subwoofer attached,
I must say that it lived up to much of the hype it may have, it lived up to most of what I wanted it to actually be and it left me
really wanting to play it more and if the planets and stars and craftmanship of the new management team aligns... I'd like one.
I truly enjoy some Early solid state era Wide body games.
I truly enjoy some 90s era solid state games.
It merges many great playfield characteristics of both eras.
The display in the backglass was very nice and very useful (I did enjoy how the clip artish inserts were utilized in the backglass
animation area to explain what shots to make, it was useful, tasteful and unique).
The movie clips grabbed were good and well implemented.
The mini display did add a fun flare and visual element to the playfield and actually makes more sense the a mini me version
of the queen alien that was to be there originally.
The display in the playfield on this variation of the game was inbetween un-required to semi helpful.
In a mega dark room, sure it could help, but in a kinda lit room it wasn't that helpful if at all.
But... if someone went with the small backglass screen or LE backglass, it would be required and helpful.
All of the shots are doable other than the inside ramp if the back legs are raised up.
The audio quality of the license assets were great as expected.
The code for me is enough where is sits and doesn't need too much added to be "finished".
The weapon selection option and usage functions were very unique, fun and fascinating to me.
The beacons are quite neat and aren't under or over used.
It'd kinda mean in the vein of BSD that you can have a really short game or a decently long and enjoyable one.
What I didn't care for...
The damn EXTRA Ball/Weapon selection button on the front left of the cabinet...
It's too damn close to the start button, it's the same sized and frankly why the hell isn't it on the left or right
side of the cabinet near the flipper buttons? Pinball people are accustomed to multiple buttons on a side or two at times.
It was missed just a little lighting in the middle area near the right ramp to me (no big deal).
I'll bite my ALIEN tongue from going on tangents about the game not being available to be and if/when...
But damn... I know this game would earn in the movie theater location I could put it at and many many many
non-pinball people would play it due to the theme and it's look...

Rob Zombie's Spookshow International Spooky Pinball, 2016
Currently at SFGE this weekend (6/10/2016) and played ROB ZOMBIE once so far.
To form a real opinion of this game (like any other game) you've got to see it,
play it and really give it a test drive.
It's refreshing to play for me because the shorts are makeable and the balls coming back to the flippers
can be calculated but don't come back to the flippers the same way all the damn time type of predictable.
The "randomizing" factor of the middle playfield side slingshots add a variation to play that I truly welcome.
It's a good balance of make the shots and let the game do it's part too.
I got the House of 1000 corpses mode and it was a good balanced launch flow of balls to the playfield,
instead of balls just falling down all at once. Adding balls was totally doable during this mode.
In the end I got 641 corpses and a #3 place high score (photo posted to high scores board of this site later).
I don't recall getting through any modes and I didn't get to the upper playfield, so I've got many more
achievements to shoot for on this game.
I'd love to see this game in a record store or two in the world, that'd be rad and will shoot for more high scores today.

The Avengers (Pro) Stern, 2012
This game doesn't feel well tested.
After tweaked it could play ok and maybe good but not after 100 plays.
The ball gets caught after launching and stuck misc places.
Ok flow, somewhat different ramps/shots.
Hulk is neat, art is ok, sounds are decent and it has it's moments...

I played one of these recently, some dude said he had a prototype game so I check it out (this game). Some neat tricks like drop targets near the outer drain lanes and nice ball launch into the left our drain lane if you pull the plunger the whole way back. It is a poor-man's Mad Max but neat.

I can't help but enjoy this game from this first plunge, it was difficult at first just like No Fear was for me, I learned it, groove with it and now knock out decent scores (85Millions). Music is nice, sound quality is nice, cannon play is nice and great for jackpots and replay value is high!

TRON: Legacy (LE) Stern, 2011
Beautiful game, good layout, good music, good movie samples, good modes and great effort.
The game is Good. To me I wouldn't call it Great though. I've played it at friend's houses, conventions and on locations and enjoyed it. The lighting on the ramps is real neat. LE's are always more solid of a body of a machine in Sterns. Tron LE is an A level game to me.

These other very low scores are just clucking azzclown reviews.

I dig the layout, some of the flow and getting into gear with the game.
CRAP voices/speak and cheezy music!
Way better than Nascar!

Transformers (Pro) Stern, 2011
I played this game 4 times on mega f'n hard settings in the tournament @ the Southern Pinball Festival this year and about 16 times on standard settings in Curly's booth at the show. On mega hard its a real challenge and on regular settings it is still pretty hardcore. It is not a game for those new to the sport or kids or older folks. It really is for the more established player and ones with better than average reflexes. Just looking at the game from a playability factor and how many dynamic shots that can occur, to me its a game I will play many times in the future, far more than Tron, Avatar, Rolling Stones, Iron Man & or Batman (probably combined).
P.S... Only complaint or really review point to make is that balls got stuck during play all over the place - in megatron, upper left above pop bumpers, behind optimus ramp, etc...
