Marvel Pinball: The Avengers (360)
Pinball Wizards, Assemble! Pinball FX2 has four new Marvel themed tables you can download on Xbox LIVE. In this batch, there’s The Avengers, Infinity Gauntlet, World War Hulk, and Fear Itself.
The neat thing about The Avengers table is you can select different balls representing heroes from the team, like Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hulk, etc. Each character’s ball activates different bonuses when on the field.
World War Hulk is probably my favorite of the four new tables, as it’s easiest to understand. Hulk has come back from outer space, seeking revenge on the heroes who sent him there. He’s trying to force them to fight in an arena, and you can even enter a smaller arena playfield on this table.
The other two tables are a bit more obscure. Infinity Gauntlet stars Silver Surfer, Thanos, and other Marvel heroes and villains. I have no idea what Fear Itself is. Even though the themes for each table in this batch are a little less recognizable, and the rules and difficulty are a bit harder, Marvel fans and pinball wizards should still enjoy them anyway.
Kid Factor:
Kids love superheroes and pinball is safe, family friendly, and easy to understand. And no reading skill is needed. Pinball FX2 and all the tables you can download for it are rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Comic Mischief.

My son and I are so hooked on Pinball FX2. He has never played a real pinball table,so I had to explain to him what a big deal pinball tables were in arcades. We are definitely going to get these Avengers tables because they look incredibly cool. All the sounds and voices,along with special effects,just make it that much more addictive to play.
