Voted. But I will give you my top here:

1. Iron Man
2. Tron
3. Black Knight Sword of Rage Pro
4. The Walking Dead
5. Iron Maiden

Just giving you my honest feedback. Black Knight is FUN AS F*CK. We get all the new games and operate all of them, and I have been in the hobby for a decade. Between my business partner and myself we own over 120 games. This isn't just a knee jerk reaction to the latest game. Black Knight is WAY BETTER in every way than Star Wars. So I feel as though I should definitely get a vote.

You don't have to like it, and since it isn't even on the poll, the question remains...Why are you so mad bro?
That was my list, where's yours? Instead of insulting the OP for "pretty much blowing it" and me for not sharing the same favorite game as yourself, why do you feel the need to troll and why can't you just participate decently like the rest of us?

We agree more than we disagree. I just have iron man instead of metallica. We both have three Borg games. I still like Black Knight more than Walking Dead, and disagree about Balrog being a better toy. Balrog sucks, just a crappy swinging hinge. I will happily take the flail and shield with a target in the middle instead. I think that the Ring shot is the best feature on LOTR overall, not Balrog. However that game bores me to tears with its ludicrously long ball times. And it has way too many multiballs, and everything is a worthless jackpot. Low hanging fruit. I find that one to be more enjoyable for the novice player because of how forgiving the game is. Starts to feel like a slog the better you become as a player.

Agreed

Well said. I mean, there is a reason why we are all still playing with steel balls rolling over painted wood boards 100 years later.

Glad Metallica beat LOTR. Even though Metallica just misses my personal top 5 list, I can't stomach playing LOTR anymore. Respect the game, hate the idea of ever playing it. Metallica is always a blast though.

Obviously, I will state for the record that I am one of those people that dislike the pin, especially for the reasons you listed above. And also obviously, it is many people's favorite game ( it gets played nonstop at my arcade ).

I have no problem with the things you listed (depth of code, sound, callouts, animations, etc) except for the "great art" comment. C'mon now, I thought we all could agreed that the photoshop art with HORRENDOUS resolution is super lame. Even the LOTR super fans can usually be counted on to point this out. Maybe they will vault it one day and fix it.

Art is most definitely the least important aspect of a pinball machine. Plenty of Stern's best games came out in the low resolution photoshop dark ages and are still great and fun games (like LOTR). I just pray that we never see that era of art packages again. I am enjoying the fact that we are getting great games WITH great art from them now.
