This game is fantastic. You get painstaking recreations of 10 classic Williams pinball machines, most notably Funhouse, Pinbot, and Whirlwind, for $29.99. Or $19.99, if you get it at Target.

Strictly speaking, Bride of Pinbot is a superior machine to the original, but the original Pinbot is still good enough that it doesn't matter.

I really hope this game does well, so that we'll eventually get Data East and Bally Midway collections. Sadly, a Data East collection may be very to make happen because all their best machines were licensed properties like Batman, TMNT, Tales from the Crypt, The Simpsons, and of course, Guns N' Roses.

A Bally Midway collection would be fantastic, as Theatre of Magic is possibly the greatest pinball machine ever made. The Twilight Zone also ranks high on most pinball lists, but again, it's a licensed property so it might not make it onto a collection.

The only thing that really annoys me is that they give you the extra credt matching game on every machine, even though the early machines didn't have it.

Pinball is fantastic, especially the machines from the late 80s and early 90s. They are triumphs of design, an ingenious combination of electronics, mechanics, and physics. But as the coin-op industry continues its slow, painful death, and as more and more classic pinball machines are thrown out instead of fixed, it's nice to see some of the better machines lovingly created for home console play.

Every Wii game? Really?

Please tell me you don't have Ninjabread Man.

or My Horse and Me.

First of all, the game is called Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey.

Secondly, it's fantastic. All four of my favorite Disney princesses are in it - Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel, and even Snow White! The game is full of fun and wonderment, and I collected all the wands. A+

I have Balls of Fury, and that is pretty terrible. It's the only Wii game I own that I wish I didn't.

great movie, baaad game.

Yeah.

And the fact that the game is terrible is a testament to just how terrible developer Black Lantern Studios and publish DSI Games really are. They took a concept that the Wii was made for - ping pong - and made it suck so hard that it's embarassing. The game has about three voice clips for each character and it uses still shots from the movie to advance the plot. I'm sorry, I didn't realize that this was fucking 1997. Also, the game looks like ass.

Comedy + ping-pong should have been IMPOSSIBLE to fuck up, and yet they did.
