Great vid as always. But... a "B" for theme??!

You got another subscriber!

Listen for me she has nothing to do with why I love Alien, the films or video games or pinball machine, she played the part well I'll say that and I'm certainly a fan.

Galaxy quest........

I'm a little guy, 5'7" and love tall women it just fits so well. High heels and they tower over ya, I love it but then again I love shorty's too and mid size, thick, thin, blond, bru.....sorry.

This looks like a game I will have to visit a lot before pulling the trigger.
Hope one show up near me so I can put some time in on it.

To me its a very interesting layout but the total package just doesn't call my wallet yet.

Once you sink some time into it, you'll be hooked. Such a refreshing game. Take a look at my history with games and you will see my attention span is limited. This game has impressed and is sticking around.

I think your theme rating should take integration into consideration more than just personal preference of the chosen theme. Agree omission of Sigourney weaver is a factor, but not sure that should so adversely affect your theme rating. Just my unsolicited 2 cents. Big fan of your show.

No that would break the immersion that you are ripley!! Zach - it's time to start believing!

Ha ha Delt I agree.

You guys do not really believe that do you? If you were playing the game as Ripley when you beat a mode or progress through certain areas you should be responding to the other characters in the movie as Ripley. For whatever reason they couldn't get the license and that does take away from the game some. It would be like playing IJ and not having Indy on the playfield or his call outs and saying, well you are playing as Indy so it's fine.

It doesn't kill the game by any means but it's definitely not a positive. I'm with Zach on this one. Get the full license or don't mess with it.

I completely believe it. It feels very natural. I'm an owner so talking from experience. Not sure if you've played for an extensive period of time but once you do you might understand

I've got maybe 15 or so plays on it so not a lot. I'm not saying that their approach doesn't work. They did the best the could to implement the game without Ripley. It's a big missing component for me though. A lot of people probably won't care but sounds and full character licensing is what can make a game great. For the price of new games I shouldn't have to settle for missing elements of the movie. Just my opinion and that along with price is why I'm not getting a POTC or gotg either.

No I totally get your point and can see why people would complain about it. For me it just works

Good show but you skipped a category....LCD Display Effects (or dots as they were called in the olden days.)

I think it's only going to get more important. With everyone going full color screens, it would be nice to know your guys opinion on how they rank. You could do an episode just on that. Rank them all.

Game looks interesting for sure...definitely unique. The actual cab design is a huge eye sore. I wish they would abandon this whole swapping games thing and go with a more traditional cab design. That Alien artwork all over the sides of the cab and backbox would look amazing.

Great review once again guys! Very entertaining.

b- for the xmas sweater!

Zach and Greg, sorry for being daft, but where do we send the code words once we get all of them?

Hey Eric just message us in here or Facebook! Facebook is preferred

Great review. I concur on all fronts. Did you guys try and nudge this beast?? I played one a bunch at the CLE PIN show and felt like I needed tommy John surgery afterwards. Haha. Definitely tweaked my elbow.

Yes! Something to keep me entertained at work today.

Did they take it down? Was it negative? Stern strong-arming the press, or random glitch?

I know, most likely removed for some minor updates, but looking forward to seeing this!

Black SUVs pulled up in front of their houses after this was posted. STDM crew has been MIA ever since.

Jody and Gary are the new hosts of SDTM now, and their new review of Guardians will be up shortly.

"there are so many bricked shots.... it just kind of kills some of it", "super challenging", "tight shots", "there is not enough flow", "need supreme accuracy to get any kind of flow"

These are among the reasons I dislike this game. I guess it translates to me not being a good enough player, but I played the game 10 times and bricked a ton of shots, got very little going, no flow, and it just wasn't fun. I have a blast with Iron Man and I like Metallica, so there is something over the edge with the game shot tightness that makes me not like it.

Enjoyed the episode, my two cents GotG is the Anna Kournikova of pinball. She sure looks good but doesn't really play that well.

So Zach I have a question for you. Since you said the terrible voice acting/call outs don't bother you, but not having Ripley in Alien does.....how would you feel if Alien had Ripley, but with a terrible voice actor doing her lines?

Love your show, love you guys. Been watching since the start. But this review felt like Stern fanboy review. You rated code way higher than it should be, IMO.

You keep it real like I do Zach, that’s what I like about you!

Certainly not Stern fanboys ha ha!!! It may have deserved a bit lower....possibly a C? But it’s still coded better then a lot of pins even this early on! Even though I don’t think wizard has been coded!

Another excellent review.

Great Review guys.....just as I've about decided to sell my MMR on to a new home to find a HUO TRON instead of a GOTG you guys make me reconsider......arrrgghhh.....

I thought it was a good review also and fair. Heck, you even justified why you were reviewing it with the current code and left the door open to go back to review it again. Can't get much more fair then that.

another great video guys, can't wait to see the new shirts.

I agree Zach, heard the same rumblings, so I've been patient. TRON has so many aftermarket toy options on top of a fantastic pin as is, including now a second LCD. Besides, there are worse things than holding on to an MMR a while longer....
