I focused on Twilight Zone for a day and I was totally won over by it. The short, free samples did nothing for me but getting a couple hours of play-time and reading over the instructions really impressed me. And, most importantly, I had fun playing. I also read Whirlwind's instructions for the first time. Wow. I’d just been flipping for the ramps and that little red tab up there. I had no idea the cellar shots were so important. It’s like a new game now and a lot more fun than it had been. I really like both of these and I would call this a tie, but Whirlwind stutters horribly on my iPad in portrait mode, which is my preference. Very choppy. It does fine in landscape mode. What’s up with that? TZ wins because of technical difficulties. Medieval Madness v Attack From Mars –  Two great tables. Similar tone, similar shots, similar greatness. How to decide? Hmm. When it comes to hopeless drain-inducing features, do I prefer dancing martians? Or pop-up trolls? Easy answer. Dancing martians. God! I hate those trolls. Centaur v Monster Bash – A month ago this would not have even been close. Monster Bash has a world of charm and a nice variety of goals to go after. Lately, I’ve spent some quality time with Centaur and managed to get the full-load orbium attack going. Then I loaded it up again for another full-load orbium attack without draining. That was way fun and, after having internally dissed Centaur from the first download – I don’t care for the art or the theme – I have to admit I was wrong. Centaur is homely yet awesome. But, for the moment, I think six Universal Monsters still top one awkwardly drawn centaur.T2 v Theatre of Magic – I played Theatre of Magic for a couple of hours on my Mac last week; it was included in the starter pack, but I haven’t played it much. I like the long loops and when I get some solid shots going it has a very smooth flow. Why haven’t I played this before? I’ve kind of hit a wall with T2. Not getting any better and I can’t hit that left ramp on purpose. The left ramp and spot under the skull is a perpetual bad bounce/dead spot for me -- the rest of the play field flows and loops gracefully -- but every shot toward that area results in straight down the middle, frenzied nudging caca. It’s a skill thing, I know, but I’m working with what I’ve got.</blockquote>
