no PAL release yet, but some UK stores are showing it with a november 22 release date under the name Williams Pinball Classics.
I've never even heard of this... It says it was released in 2009?!

Yeah it's super hard to find. It got a crazy short run here, I think it was $70.

Can't. Stop. Playing.

Secrets of the Deep - meh. Not a big fan. Don't like the top right area. Not a fan of the table layout. Don't really like the missions. Don't like the theme.

Biolab - My least played of the main four. Have enjoyed it when I've played it. Don't like the baby sound effects.

Pasha - Really fun table. Enjoy playing it. Missions are fun. Good humour. Giant Snake! RUUUUUNN!

Rome - Easily my favorite. I love ramps, and Rome has em big time. Love the table layout. Love the missions. Fantastic stuff. Love the serious tone - pinball is serious business after all. I don't understand why this table gets hate at GAF. This table seems to suit my playstyle, and I feel like I have a lot more control over what's going on. You also seem to get more 'thinking' and reaction time IMO.

I use View 5 most.

I've not been able to start a tale in Parsha. I have no idea why... The book opens, and I just can't hit the palace ramp. Yet I can hit the ramp any other day of the week...

Yeah I'm in the same boat Grey. It's a tricky shot.

Played Nightmare Mansion this morning. Horrible, boring. Worst table evar.
I think Pasha's my fave for the moment. I'm loving the leaderboard integration etc., but I lost a ball when another distracting announcement came up. :(

Good stuff, might grab the other table pack too.

the old tables aren't great, i'd but excalibur for sure, and maybe earth defense
also, there are 2 DLC tables coming this year, mars and something else from Zen pinball on PSN.
the rest are pretty boring in comparison to the new tables.

I wonder if they will go into the Pinball FX game. Doesn't appear to be the same engine.

I think it's a stand alone Marvel pinball game. It makes no reference to zen pinball on the PS3. THey have the PS3 and sony deets there...

I'm not too sure about the new tables. The Iron Man table is arse... feels too big and it's hard to get the balls even up the ramps. The Wolverine table is very small... I don't mind it but it just feels too small. I find the ball goes in the side kick back ramps way too often in the Spider-Man table. The ball just hits a lip and then decides to fall down the kick back :( Blade is okay, but the day night cycle makes it really hard to see what you are doing. Maybe a different colour instead of all black, like a shadowed table.

hmmm... more play required.

Dear Pilon,

Can you rename the thread to 'The Pinball and all things shiny Thread' or something?

Ka Pai,
Pinball fans.

Gottlieb collection wasn't bad, Williams collection is better. It has Firepower.

Speaking of which, did that ever get a release in PAL-land? I remember waiting forever until I got frustrated and imported it after buying a PS3.

I've got the Williams Collection on Wii.
Look, it's good and all. The ball physics are marginally better than Pinball FX2, but tbh I'd definitely rather be playing FX2.
Maybe the real console versions of Williams collection are better?
