I snatched up Star Wars Pinball<\/a> for iPhone and iPad a couple days ago, but didn’t realize until today that it was\u00c2\u00a0still<\/em> free. Not only is it still free, it’s free for 5 more days. So, seriously, if you like Star Wars or pinball or are part of a Venn diagram in which those things overlap and your sexy bits begin to tingle, then go download this<\/a>. Right. Now.<\/i><\/p>\n

The first table is included in the download and two additional tables can be purchased for $1 each. Unlocking the extra tables is actually key to one of the other cool features of the game: the ability to team up with your friends on either the Light Side or Dark Side and compete against the world.<\/p>\n

Basically, every player has a “Force Score” which is based on your score, the number of tables you have played on, and how many friends you have playing via Game Center. Then, all of your points are used in support of either the Light Side or the Dark Side. The entire app’s interface is used to show which side is currently winning, by splitting it into blue on the left and red on the right. The percentage of the screen covered by each color indicates the current winning side.<\/p>\n

Currently, I’m on the Light Side, but I’ve always loved an underdog, so it seems likely that I’ll eventually let my hatred consume me and fall. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as blogger and reader!<\/p>\n

If we’re not Game Center friends already, send me an invite. My name is Zepfhyr. Be sure to include that you read the blog so I know to approve you.<\/p>\n

Now get out there and download the game before it’s too late<\/a>. Help me, readers! You’re my only hope!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
