I like Pinball Arcade a lot, but I really hope they get their ducks in a row for the Xbox version soon. I've been dying to buy new table packs on there for some time now.

[QUOTE=Janni;2610291]or a steeper table angle :P

btw. rudi, you can add STTNG to your list of pretty "realistic" tables... plays fine for me, with lots of draining

I haven't bought STTNG so I dont know about the difficulty.I'm not buying every table anymore, after so much disappointments.I will buy only my favourit tables.
Attack from Mars is one of this, but when I look at the video, it seems to be to easy again. Eight Ball Deluxe is another one. I absolutely love this table. The older ones like Gorgar or Black Knight have the right difficulty, so I hope it will be the same with Eight Ball deluxe.

Wow, there are WAY too many pages to look back through on this to answer a couple basic questions. Maybe someone could help me?

1. I've purchased the app and am REALLY enjoying the ToTAN table. What are some of the better ones to buy? I'm definitely no pinball fanatic but think I know quality from crap...

2. The menus are very confusing, how can I just view the multi-game packs available to buy and their prices? I assume there would be some better deals there for a few tables instead of just purchasing them individually.

3. Are the 'Pro' versions of the tables worth the extra bucks? It seems to me as though they just include other camera views and such?

Thanks so much! As for iOS pinball I've been playing Rob-O-Bot and this ToTAN table like crazy and am on the lookout for more tables. More more more!

1. It really depends on your tastes. You can try out a table buy hitting the start button on the lower right hand corner, and when the menu pops up, press the "play free version" button.

Some of my favorites are
Theatre of Magic
Big Shot
Twilight Zone
Medieval Madness
And Black Hole just to name a few.

Medieval Madness is a must own IMO.

2.To buy a pack of tables, just click start on a table you want, and when the menu pops up it will ask you if you want to buy the two pack of tables for $5 which vary depending on which table you select.

3. The pro menu for TOTAN will be 99¢ in the next update and for that price I'd buy it. I bought the pro mode for TOTAN for $1.99 and I think it's worth it. You get to use the operators menu for the table, with which you can change the difficulty, adjust the software settings, run tests and more. You also get to have control over the ball in regular play mode, which can be quite fun. You get pro tips from Josh Sharpe which can be helpful at times.

Hope that helps.

If you mess with the table settings does it still add your scores to the global leaderboards?

Like the new layout to this app now. But it's still on occasion a little crashy but I'm sure it's my itouch 4g. If rumour is true that the mini iPad with retinal display comes out this March I'll be definitely upgrading. I can imagine playing pinball on a larger screen would be awesome!

If you'd like a larger screen why will you buy a mini iPad?
