Out of all the recent games that are now or soon-to-be available, JJJP Pirates and American Pinball's Oktoberfest are the two I find the most interesting for a potential purchase. I played POTC this summer and was really impressed, and the code has seemed to really develop into a league of its own since. I haven't played Oktoberfest, but it looks like it shoots well and is "full-featured" with a theme that I think is fun.
I won't make any decisions until I've put enough time on both, but which do you guys think is better and why?
