1. Tron - Very nice, indeed. Wonderful sound, great flow, rule set suits ball times, LOVE the theme.

2. X-Men - Good flow (once you get better at the tighter shots), good music. Still needs combos and rule tweaks to unleash the potential. Some call outs are stupid, I don't care if they came from the comic or not.

3. TF - Love the fast shot flow of this one. Love the theme. Just needs that last code update...

4. AC/DC - Hate the music to begin with, really hate hearing it over and over. Flow is great, but in this case, the theme kills the possibility of me owning it. Some devilish drains on occasion, but that is just my fault. Can't really fault the game for my lack of skill. This game feels more solid than most Sterns, too.

5. Avengers - Only played the LE so far. Gotta say... this thing looks SO fragile. The way the ramp returns are actually built on top of the playfield plastics with super thin plastics on each side. When you launch the ball, the thin plastic support for the top Hawkeye ramp can pop out to the side and cause the upper part to sag with the weight of the ball and in turn cause the ball to pop off the ramp at the turn before it gets to the arrow crossover part. I can just see an airball taking out one of the ball return guides very easily. Also, I do not like the loop shots. They don't return to the flippers like I like. The Iron Man loop shots return further out towards the slingshots instead with the possibility of going out of control. Don't like that, no sir. Also, what is up with the Hulk? Is he supposed to be "special." Why is everyone picking on Hulk? That is just strange. I though hulk just had temper problems. I didn't think he was supposed to be a dunce that everyone picked on... but then again, I don't know much about Avengers beyond the movie. Dispite all of this, the game played ok. Just not my thing, I guess.
