Hmm that one looks great, but yeah iOS only means I probably won't support it or get it.

:lol: Well I can't say I blame them for choosing it as a platform, the install base is crazy huge, especially when you consider that anyone with an iPad or iPod could potentially get this as well. All they would need to do is add PC as a stretch goal.

One of the creators of Pro Pinball emailed me yesterday that there is a Kickstarter campaign to make "Pro Pinball: Timeshock! - The ULTRA Edition".

While I am a fan of Pro Pinball and missed the last Kickstarter to remake them all, I don't know if I am willing to pay $15 for a new HD table since I play the original all the time on my Windows XP arcade cab. I wouldn't play it much if it wasn't on my cab.

I am considering it so I figured I would share it here since many of us love video pinball.

What do you guys think... worth it or not?

Only 48 hours left on this one. I caved and backed it. I was skeptical about one guy doing everything, but it looks like he's outsourcing some of the tasks (like music) with the kickstarter money. As far as wanting to back it, I guess I just can't say no to pretty graphics :lol: .

Just browsing through the recently launched stuff will post up anything interesting I find.

Magic Meisters - An Open World Co-oP Multiplayer RPG

The CROSS PLANE: Your System - Your Game - Your Play(Hi-Definition Wireless Video Interface)

A bit pricey but it looks pretty cool. Design looks like it could be a little uncomfortable with the placement of the sticks and triggers though. Would be pretty cool to use with the OUYA probably.
