[QUOTE="PinMike8666, post: 1332, member: 8"] Since there are quite a few people on this forum that have a mobile device, I thought I'd make this thread. I have both an iPod Touch 4th generation and iPad 2. Here's my two cents on the pinball games I've bought from the app store: [B]The Pinball Arcade[/B] needs no explanation; bought it, played it, love it. Even with the upcoming Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions (which looks really awesome), I will still get the new tables on my iPad since I love handheld gaming. [B]Zen Pinball[/B] is awesome. Nearly looks like the console versions and plays as well, too. Like all video games, I still prefer using a real controller over the touch controls, especially for nudging. [B]Pinball Dreams HD[/B] is a beautiful remake of the original that greatly improves on the ball physics engine and the flippers aren't as oversized. I also love the new nudge controls; simply touch the middle of the table to nudge. With some exception to [B]The Pinball Arcade[/B], I don't like nudging with the gyro sensor since it feels inconsistent and awkward. I would really love to see [B]Pinball Fantasies[/B], [B]Pinball Illusions[/B], [B]Absolute Pinball[/B], and [B]Slam Tilt[/B] get similar treatment. Unlike the mobile releases of [B]Dreams[/B] and [B]Fantasies[/B], this has Game Center support. [B]Retro Pinball[/B] is a very well made remake of three [B]Epic Pinball[/B] tables (Android, Crash n' Burn, and Pangaea). Very fun little pinball package. No Game Center support, unfortunately. [B]Tristan Pinball[/B] is a very cool little remake of Little Wing's original pinball game. The game looks like a toy pinball game and the physics are really nice. Endless nudging for Arcade Mode, but the nudging feels quite limited. Rock n' Play Mode is worthless; in addition to endless nudging, you can rotate the table anywhere so the ball never drains. That mode should only be used as an impressive physics showcase. Still, this game comes recommended as it's still quite fun, just play Arcade Mode. [B]Pinball HD[/B] is simplistic pinball, but fun enough to recommend. Table layouts and modes are quite shallow and feel less rewarding than the vast majority of older PC pinball games. Still, it's simple fun with very nice graphics. [B]Frogger Pinball[/B], from Fuse Games, is basically [B]Metroid Prime Pinball[/B] with a [B]Frogger[/B] theme. Nice little fantasy pinball romp, but less enjoyable than Fuse games other outings. [B]Digital Pinball: Last Gladiators[/B] is a nice port of the Sega Saturn original; however, this app is very insanely overpriced. The original Saturn release consisted of four tables in one package. This, on the other hand, requires $4.99 just for one table; the other three are sold separately for $4.99.
