Get your rock on: Sony releases Slayer Pinball for Windows Phones
|Sony television has released two Windows Phone titles (Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy) which are receiving mediocre reviews. But now another Sony division, Sony Music Entertainment, has dropped its first title into the Windows Phone market. It’s Slayer Pinball Rocks . The iPhone version has 850+ ratings and 4 stars so this is a solid title. Oddly, the WP version lacks a description so let’s just use the iOS description for now but there’s no way to know what features are in the WP version:
"It lives up to its own name…it totally rocks." – MTV
"Not since Electronic Arts’ Crüe Ball hit the Genesis in 1992 have we been this excited to experience the unholy marriage of pinball and heavy metal. Thanks to thrash metal outfit Slayer’s new iPhone game, heavy pinball is back!" – Kotaku
"The world of iPad apps just got a whole lot more metal with the launch of Slayer: Pinball Rocks, a new game featuring an animated skull that eats your ball and spits it out through its eye hole" – Wired
"Stop being such a Satan scaredy-cat and download what is arguably the coolest app that’s been introduced since fried mozzerella." – Examiner.com
"If you were one of the gazillion people who bought a new iPad or iPhone 4… you might wanna add this to your must-download list." – Seattle Weekly
Legends of metal meet the king of arcade games in one loud, fast, flipper-thrashing frenzy. Hyper-realistic pinball gameplay set to a backdrop inspired by the band’s latest head-banging masterpiece, World Painted Blood.

Here’s a review from MarkTheTechGuy if you want to see it in action:
You can check it out here for $3. There’s no trial available presently.
Rip off. Full of bugs and no settings whatsoever
Don’t buy it until they make a trial version. Then decide. As far as I can say Dr Pickaxe and Hardboiled pinball are much better with smother gameplay and feature-complete. And what’s with the flippers? Are they bridges? why do they completely block the lower lanes when up? Goofy…
