Pinball Heroes now up on the PSP Store photo

I originally scoffed at the idea of an Uncharted-centric pinball game for PlayStation Portable, so now I feel like a proper jerk. There are four separate tables under the Pinball Heroes moniker that went up on the PSN Store today, each of which is based on a Sony Computer Entertainment property.

The PlayStation Blog has a video of these bite-sized games in action, and you know what? They look surprisingly decent. Possibly even good. Priced at only $3.99 a pop, they could very well be worth your money if pinball on the go is what you're after.

Agree? Disagree? "Meh"?

the williams pinball collection for the psp is the only pinball game you need. its 20 bucks, you get like 11 tables, and its fantastic. and are actual tables (funhouse, taxi, whirlwind.) just buy that instead

Yeah I agree with fromagex. I just find that making a good, engaging pinball game that you want to play over and must be a damn near impossible feat giving that Williams collection is the only one that holds my attention. Williams are masters of their art. Might be different for other folks though, and for 4 bucks you really wouldn't lose anything if it turns out to be crap. And hell there's even a chance it might turn out to be awesome.

So PSN got a DSiWare update this week, meanwhile DSiWare got the good stuff.

Online Bomberman or... non-Williams pinball?

Gee, this is a really tough call here.

I bought Pinball Fantasies (or whatever the remake is called) on Minis a while ago and that still occupies a fair amount of my time.

The animation on this doesn't look as smooth, but I'll get it if the boards can be rotated (so you're holding the PSP by the side). You lose the use of the shoulder buttons, but the increased viewing area is worth it :D
