I'm a pinball wizard....

Yes, Pinball FX was released as an arcade game and it's pretty cool. Some goofs gave it bad reviews saying the graphics stink, but they are pretty sweet.
There are 3 tables, Speed Machine, Extreme and Agents. Each has their own personality, and play pretty normal. There are 5 views you can utilize, but I found most of View 1 (full table) to be the least dizzying.

So, why the bad reviews? I don't know. The game play is highly entertaining, and the pace is fun. I did go to the Xbox forum on the game and noticed that one of the developers was very active and really taking opinions to heart. This will be good to improve the game.

So, get your 800 pts and download this game.

Guitar Hero

Only had the game a few hours and already loving it. Did the tutorial and then started practicing Surrender. TOO FUN. Wife saw me playing and wanted to try. She loved it. Said she could not stop laughing. She immediately called our daughter in college to tell her how fun it was. Daughter replied “I am never coming home again!”.

Cracks me up.

I spent the morning on the phone and tracked down a second guitar controller so now my wife and I can do the co-op, jam and bang heads together. Time to grow the hair long again!
