For our money, Zen Pinball has been the best pinball game up to now on the PlayStation 3 and we’ve been lucky that they continually support it with new tables. Following up on the release of the Mars offering, we now have the Paranormal table to sink our teeth in to. So how was it, we hear you ask?
Since the initial release of Zen Pinball back in 2009, Zen Studios have supported their spectacular game (see our review) with six unique and brand spanking new tables available through the PSN store. Each costs $2.49 and are all as diverse as the first four included on the game. This DLC is by no means a cheap way to milk extra dollars out of a game, and the Paranormal table definitely proves this by being just as in depth as the previous tables, if not more so.
PSi: "Just in time for Halloween, Zen Studios has unleashed their newest downloadable table for their PlayStation Network hit. Zen Pinball: Paranormal is exactly what you'd expect it to be: a well-designed and well-themed table filled to the brim with secrets. Paranormal is par for the course, which means it's a must-download if you enjoyed Zen Pinball. I just can't imagine anyone not enjoying the game to begin with."
The pinball industry has seen better days, with only one major retailer, Stern Pinball, still producing actual, original pinball tables. While you can go out to an arcade or bar and try to find a machine, the easier thing to do these days is play pinball virtually. With Zen Pinball having its new “Paranormal” table release on the PSN, we figured this would be a perfect time to review both the full game as well as the latest DLC. So does this game endlessly eat your virtual quarters, or would you be better off playing a table in real life? Find out here.
