\"ALIENS_BOX\"<\/a>In space, no one can hear you tilt. Zen Studios has a new pack of pinball tables for their Zen Pinball 2 and Pinball FX 2 games, and they\u2019re based on the Aliens movie and video game franchises.\u00a0 You can download and play the new Aliens vs. Pinball pack on consoles that support Zen Studios pinball platforms (PS3 version reviewed here). When you download Pinball FX 2 or Zen Pinball 2 (depending on which game console you own), you\u2019re just downloading the hub.\u00a0 It\u2019s free, and then you purchase separate tables for play in the game.\u00a0 Here are the three tables in the Aliens vs. Pinball pack.<\/p>\n

Aliens Pinball<\/strong><\/p>\n

This table is based on the hit movie sequel. This movie also has a personal significance as I believe it was the first rated R movie I saw in theaters.\u00a0 The missions on this table are based on scenes from the movie, and activating them is pretty easy to do.\u00a0 There is even a fun mini-game where you use the flipper buttons to steer the armored car around obstacles.\u00a0 It\u2019s fun, but nigh impossible to pass!\u00a0 It\u2019s a very high scoring table and easy to understand, so it\u2019s definitely my favorite game on this set.\u00a0 And of course, when you lose all your balls, they say, \u201cIt\u2019s Game Over, man!\u201d<\/p>\n

Aliens vs. Predator<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if this table is based on the movies, comics, other video games, or just the franchise in general. You have the Predator on one side of the table and Aliens on the other side, with a pyramid taking center stage at the top.\u00a0 The table has plenty of alien egg targets that make a satisfying \u2018crunch\u2019 when you roll over them with the ball.\u00a0 There\u2019s even a fun mini-game where you use the flipper buttons to rotate a stone talisman to trap balls into holes for points.\u00a0 While I like the Aliens Pinball table better, this one is still pretty fun.<\/p>\n

Alien: Isolation<\/strong><\/p>\n

And finally, this table is based on the video game that came out a couple of years ago. It\u2019s my least favorite table in the set, because I\u2019m not familiar with the game, and the table was a little harder to understand and play.\u00a0 You must shoot up ramps and flip targets as you keep Ripley\u2019s health and ammo full, as you find new weapons to destroy the alien targets! \u00a0I think fans of the Alien franchise and pinball will definitely want to download this pack, though.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

All Zen Pinball games are rated E-10 with ESRB descriptors of Fantasy Violence and Mild Language. While the Aliens vs Pinball tables aren\u2019t even close to being as violent as the movies and games they\u2019re based on, some of the monsters and scary sounds may frighten very young kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
