iOS update is out!
There is malware in the Android store. There's a lot of junk in the Apple store, but at least there's some vetting process there to keep it relatively safe. I would rather wait an extra week than have to worry about downloading viruses to my phone.
The Game Center update for iOS is out now.

After the update in the iOS app store the new app description lists "Victory" as an upcoming table, not sure if it did before?

It was part of the Pinball Hall of Fame : The Gottlieb Collection and, if I recall correctly, had a nasty bug that wouldn't feed ball 2 to the plunger lane which meant the table was pretty much unplayable. Not a bad table though and can't wait to play an updated and fixed version of the table.

Nice to see Black Knight after taking the plunge and selling my Wii Gottlieb and Williams collections. Black Knight is definitely more challenging than the Hall of Fame edition: ball is noticeably faster; especially on the upper playfield where I found it ludicrously easy to get ball locks on the Wii.
My first impression of Creature was very poor, but I thought that might be due to the default camera angle not being appropriate due to the number of translucent ramps on the playfield. With angle 3 I could actually see what's going on (this is also a better angle for Black Knight due to the difference in area elevations). I still think Creature has far too much stuff cluttering the playfield for me to spend a lot of time with this one compared to the rest of the collection, but my second game was definitely better than the first.
Victory worked quite well on the Wii release of the Gottlieb collection. Pretty decent table with identifiable goals. I'd rather Big Shot be the next from that set, but I'd definitely buy this one as well.

It looks cluttered but it's not that bad once you get to know the lanes. At first in the beta I didnt enjoy creature at all, but once you get to spell FILM a few times you know basically what to go for. Starting to love the table after, and its now in my top 4 of all tables (with Totan, RBION, MM).

Had to look up Victory, not familiar with it. Looks pretty good. The upper flipper area looks fun. This would be great paired with getaway (fingers crossed).

Puke! How lame! This was Gottlieb's sorry answer to High Speed, and tables like this are the reason Gottlieb couldn't compete with Bally and Williams. Decent playfield, but ding dong music and generic sound effects leave this game devoid of any personality. It's like those generic tables in those pinball programs that often popped up in the 90's, or Zen's dull beginnings. That said, it was one of the best tables on that collection, but that's not saying much.
The only consolation is that Sorcerer still seems like a no-go, and this may satisfy them as far as doing tables from the Gottlieb collection.

I actually liked Victory! It's not as good as High Speed or The Getaway, but it's decent and I'm a sucker for 80's pinball machines.

I wish FarSight would officially announce more tables from the Gottlieb Collection. I know all of the tables deserve an upgrade. Genie, El Dorado, Tee'd Off, and Goin' Nuts would play like a dream with the updated physics and graphics!

I am sure we will get High Speed and The Getaway in the upcoming months!
Goin' Nuts has an excellent premise - all multiball, all the time. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot to do. I wish they'd take that concept and use it in a modern machine; perhaps using a license famous for having three of something, like the 3 Stooges, or 3 Musketeers.

Bally's Spectrum has somewhat the same concept as Goin' Nuts.
