Stargate is awesome and VPW did it real justice. Strap on your safety belt though, as this table is fast! It is not unfair, though, so if you get to know the table, and play a bit more cautiously, you can start to build good games. youtu.be/oQ7ZiumhD0A

Black Rose is one of the few tables where I can put a good game together after only a few games. It is certainly not the most complicated table, but because so much ride on getting the multiballs right, I always get an adrenaline rush playing this table. youtu.be/KgumX14WqHM

Baywatch is actually quite nice, and with nfozzy physics it plays well. I managed to put a decent game together where I reached the wizard mode called Earthquake. youtu.be/91H2XUAZrj4

Uncle Paulie keeps on rolling out these fun but highly challenging tables. I love that the table is painstakingly tuned to play as close as possible to the real thing. You get a real sense of achievement once you manage to put a decent game together. youtu.be/-cL_HCxRFnM

Taxi is not the most complicated table, but like Diner that it has many similarities with, it has enough to it to keep it interesting. Granted, if it plays too easily, like it does here with the Pinball FX version, then it can get pretty repetitive. youtu.be/rkQJ72Pm3xw

I thought I'll only give it a quick spin, but 30 odd games later, I was still going! Tripe Strike is about as straight forward as you can get and still have some strategic gameplay options. It is tough, but you do have a good semblance of control. youtu.be/ngD6PLinO6o

The VPW team did an amazing job on Count-down. It is beautiful, and the physics is great. At first I thought the bounce on the flippers is off, but within a few seconds of watching real gameplay, I realised that they got the gameplay absolutely spot-on. youtu.be/d8qpefsoQHg

VPW's scratch rebuilt of Scared Stiff is absolutely gorgeous and, thanks to input from players with access to the real thing, it plays fantastically. Kudos to the team - another notch in their already impressive belt. youtu.be/ip781P7HbVM

I don't fully understand the table. I know you want to get your multipliers up so you can get a substantial end of ball bonus on your last ball called multi-bonus. It is also quite fun to get into multiball, and I had a few good ones in this game. youtu.be/RYiV00Isgyc

I bought the early access version of Pinball Wicked years ago already. I saw though that they officially released it this week, so in honour of that I thought I'll give it a go again. youtu.be/-t_P0rTwM4U

I've played Creature from the Black lagoon so many times over the years, especially Zen's Pinball FX2. With the physics the most realistic ever, and especially that Snack Bar scoop (you'll see what I mean), this is now quite the challenge. youtu.be/3XS3q9NHjNA

Not the most complicated table, but it knows how to keep you busy! It reminds me of Diner, Taxi and Police Force. It is quite a challenge to get the jackpot, and in this game I finally manage it! Well done Mecha Enron, it looks and plays fantastic! youtu.be/ph1s-5AR9yw

VPW has done a phenomenal job, as always. Quicksilver looks and plays wonderfully for a thoroughly enjoyable experience. youtu.be/dTgCuABH3Sk

I've always thought I'd The Walking Dead, but there has not been a version that I was interested in investing time in. Well... that is no longer an issue. I've already spent countless hours on it, and will play it many more times in the years to come. youtu.be/1rgCUGXlAbk

Centaur is such an awesome challenge, but it can also be highly frustrating! All and all a great table, and UnclePaulie did an awesome job of updating the table and raise it to the highest visual and gameplay standards. youtu.be/Vy-_-ATrKBM

I don't know much about this table, but it seems quite straight-forward... hit the drop targets to destroy the aliens before the rockets hit. Well done to Mecha_Enron for a fun release. It keeps you on your toes, as it can be brutal! youtu.be/Th9lNac-zzA

What a great table by Uncle Paulie! The objectives are simple, but it certainly doesn't make it easy. It plays and looks beautifully. Voltan Escapes Cosmic Doom gives you an opportunity to put your skills to good use with the well-implemented physics. youtu.be/QMaWsEwx-jo

I've always liked Wizball's approach to rules for his tables, with Watchmen one of my favourites. Secret Agent builds on that, and there is always something else to go for. A great table, and I look forward to when it comes up in competition play. youtu.be/hvbzRzqoDro

F-14 Tomcat is such a fast and furious table, befitting to the theme of fighter jets. Everything happens at a frantic pace, so much so that it feels like magic if you manage to achieve something. VPW did a great job as always, and it is a joy to play. youtu.be/dcnM6-lgJ0k

VPW did an amazing job with Bram Stoker's Dracula playing tough, but not impossible. I managed to do well in the bats and rats modes on my first ball to add nicely to my score with each ball loss. I also stacked all three multiballs for triple jackpots!. youtu.be/P2GqzpXlasc
