I'm going 360. I have the iOS version. I like it quite a bit, but I recommend holding of on the Ripley's table, unless you have an iPad 2 or iPhone 4s. Farsight is working on fixing it, but in it's current state it's unplayable with a jumpy framerate.
Comparing this to Pinball FX, leaderboard score runs will all have a pretty significant element of luck to them due to some of the games having a shot that awards some sort of random value. The Theater of Magic table, for instance: the "Trap Door" shot can award anything from a few million points, to extra balls, to a mode that can potentially score hundreds of millions points in quick fashion. Some other tables have even more drastic examples. PBFX, if anything, removed most of the element of luck from the rules of their games, so the scores more accurately reflected skill (or mastery of some sort of scoring exploit :) )
I actually like a little luck in my games, as anything beneficial to my score is always a good thing!
35MB is not a lot. Some Gameloft games require like a Gigabyte on the phone memory. Android version is alright, Openfeint would have been nice though.Quote:

Having this on my iPhone is pretty awesome. Having to connect to Facebook while completely ignoring the two primary friends lists already available for iOS games is shitty. (Yes, I saw that they're planning to include Game Center later on, and yes, I saw that Facebook is for cross-platform high scores, but I still have to wait for either of those things to matter.)
The prices for each table are kind of crazy so I'll be sticking with Arabian Nights until the others go on sale. The having to hold it in landscape before starting the game confused me for a couple minutes and I'm not sure why they did that. I really like the actual game itself, this will probably be my go-to game while on the shitter for a while.
Not when your phone doesn't have much on board memory and relies on the SD for large files.Quote:

A lot of Glu games use Facebook for a sort of cloud storage too, so I mean, it's nothing new... I wish OpenFeint would be used more and could do cloud storage, but whatever, it's not a big deal. What phone are you using because as mentioned befre, 35 MB is not a lot. The last phone I had to worry about storage on was the original DROID which like 4 phones ago for me.Quote:

In other words, when you tell an app to install extra data the SD card, it's still on the internal memory and instead of "move to SD card" it says "move to media storage." Very odd, so my 32 gig actual SD card isn't getting much use at the moment, much like in my tablet.
So this comes out tomorrow. I'm guessing the big high-score runs will all be on XBLA?
