Grabbed Some New Pinball Tables

I went on a bit of a spending spree last night and decided to pick up a few of the newer tables for Pinball FX2.  Buying tables for has become a little bit like Pokemon for me...gotta catch 'em all.  I would rather not think about how much I've spent on tables.

So I grabbed the two new Zen tables--"Wild West Rampage" and "Castle Storm."  "Wild West Rampage" is a classic Western themed table.  The story, as far as I can tell from reading the intro and a little time playing it, is that a lady cowboy named Cindy is trying to oust the crooked sheriff and his thugs from a town.  There are some interesting features on this table including lots of targets to hit.  At one point the sheriff starts tossing dynamite and you have to hit it before it hits poor Cindy.  If you're into Western themed stuff, this table is definitely for you.

"Castle Storm" is a sort of semi-serious knights on a quest/goofy medieval type of table.  There is a dragon and a big castle to storm (as the table title implies).  When you shoot a central hole on the table the ball moves to a smaller playing field with drop targets representing knights that are guarding a castle.  Your goal is to take out these targets and directly hitting the castle to "storm" it.  I've found that the transfer from the larger table to the smaller one happens pretty fast so you have to be really quick on the uptake or you'll miss it.  It seems like a fun little table.

I also decided to grab the South Park pack that comes with two tables.  One is a general South Park table and the other follows Butters...of all characters.  The South Park table is great if you're a fan of the show.  There are all the voices and characters that you know and it will make you laugh.  The play revolves around major events from the show--you light up all the Stan targets and have to help him kiss Wendy without throwing up by hitting a certain lane.  It's got all the quirky charm of the show.  The Butters table is based around all the weird things Butters does.  The goal of this table is to complete missions with Butters--one mission has you rescuing the "Meheecan's" by shooting lit lanes and another has you chasing off tourists in Hawaii.  I'm liking the South Park tables more than the "Wild West"/"Castle Storm" ones.

There are only six more days until The Witcher 3.  Pre-Loading is available if you're looking to get a jump on getting ready to play.  I was a little surprised when the download only came in at 21 GB.  That seems small to me.  Here's to hoping it's as epic as promised.
