Both are very good games but also very different IMHO.
I own CFTBL so I am slightly biased towards it obviously.
TOM is pretty and about flow and some cool toys. Creech is pure old school pinball with tough tasks and a drain monster. It also gets the slight nod for overall feel and integration IMHO.
I would like to own both someday.
maf-mi >> I think you need more time on Creech as the ball is rarely blocked for anything important. You can clearly see every shot, rollovers, slings, and outlanes. There is really nothing blocked in CFTBL at all. They did an amazing job with layout considering everything that is packed in.
