Well, &#8220;new&#8221; if you haven&#8217;t already been playing it for a year on the Playstation 3 as part of Zen Pinball.  In terms of sci-fi tables, it&#8217;s not quite as lively as Earth Defense Force, but it&#8217;s got its own sexy near-future cool.  You&#8217;ll discover fancy gravity tricks, a fat space shuttle that sits in the middle of the table when it lands (I&#8217;m playin&#8217; here!) and occasionally deploys a robot arm, a satellite that literally orbits the table, a cute little spider robot helpfully retrieving your ball (am I the only one who remembers AMEE from that Val Kilmer Mars movie?), scanning beam missions, and a mysterious pyramid.  And, of course, a weird face peering out at you.  It wouldn&#8217;t be Mars without that face.<\/p>\n<p>I like Mars for how hard it is to lose the ball.  I think it&#8217;s safe to say this is the most generous Zen Studios table in terms of letting you play longer.  Mars is the table for those of us averse to failure.<\/p>\n<p>And courtesy of the folks at Zen Studios, we have two free codes for Mars.  It&#8217;s an add-on to Pinball FX 2, so it won&#8217;t do you much good unless you already own the core game.  Post in the comments section below and make sure you&#8217;ve entered your email in the sign-in box when you post.  In 24 hours, I&#8217;ll draw two names from a virtual hat and the lucky winners will get Mars for free.  The table, not the planet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-games"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
