In my review of Joe Danger PC, I noted that some PC games are best played with a controller. Below, I have compiled some profanity-free guides on how to setup several console controllers with your PC:

ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS is an Early Access title. This means the game is not fully optimized and bugs may be present.
However, this also means that ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS is continually being changed, updated, refined and improved based on YOUR feedback.

Two rockets lift-off from opposite platforms.
Then…they dance.
Relentlessly driving electronic music accompanies their deadly fandango…The trails of light are steps. The mines, torpedoes and rockets they fire–beating hearts keeping tempo.
Welcome to ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS* is a game where rockets fire rockets at rockets, and have a complete blast while doing it (pun intended).

Nancy Drew: The Shattered Medallion’s amazingly funny characters, fascinating dialog and New Zealand setting are fantastic.
However, there are some unfortunate supernatural elements players should know about (detailed in our Potential Concerns section).
_____________________________________________
The Nancy Drew adventure game series has a 16-year history as educational, (for the most part) family-friendly fun for boys and girls alike.
It’s ironic that a game set in Nancy’s hometown of River Heights–Nancy Drew: Alibi in Ashes*–is such a great starting point to entering this world.
The Nancy Drew series usually puts you squarely in the role of Nancy Drew–investigating crimes in far-off locales, discovering clues and catching criminals.
Italy from Nancy Drew: The Phantom of Venice.
Japan from Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water’s Edge.
New Zealand from the most recent Nancy Drew release, The Shattered Medallion (review coming soon!).
This time, Nancy must solve what may be the most high-stakes case yet–her own!
“What made you decide to burn down the old Town Hall?”
“I didn’t!“
Plants vs. Zombies* is available as a $2.99 USD add-on for the excellent arcade pinball simulators from Zen Studios–Zen Pinball 2 and Pinball FX 2. Please note that tables purchased for the PS3 can also transfer to every other PlayStation device (including PS4).
Each table is enhanced with robust social features encouraging leaderboard competition and personal improvement. This–along with a highly detailed “Operator’s Menu” that allows you to do everything from change the slope of a table to its overall difficulty–make Zen Pinball 2 and Pinball FX 2 some of the best digital pinball experiences to date.

Zen Studios’ Plants vs. Zombies pinball table manages to successfully transfer the family-friendly tower defense insanity of Plants vs. Zombies into a pinball format.
Through expert use of official artwork, designs and music, this table feels just like the original game.
Plants vs. Zombies and pinball share the same basic objective –survival. Let the zombies reach your Welcome Mat or too many balls “drain” and it’s game over.
Use Sun to buy a variety of helpful plants like the “Squash” and “Torchwood” to keep those zombies off your lawn!
The oddly-lovable Squash protects vulnerable areas of your defense.
A flaming “Torchwood” ball can destroy helmeted zombies with a single hit.
Among the official elements included in this table is Crazy Dave’s Twiddydinkies. Players use his shop to buy items like Bacon or the Gatling Pea with coins earned from defeated zombies.

The pinball Crazy Dave’s Twiddydinkies.
Take on a number of missions based on the game, such as the fog-covered challenge “Going Nuts” and the high-scoring “Zombies Love Football.”
Despite being based on a child-friendly property, Plants vs. Zombies features a balanced difficulty that makes challenging Dr. Zomboss (ruler of the zombies) quite an achievement.

Conclusion:
With its use of official assets and the signature charm of the original title, Plants vs. Zombies makes a fantastic pinball table.
Potential Concerns:
The inclusion of cartoon zombies.
The player can use the elemental effects of fire and ice by planting Torchwood and the Snow Pea, respectively. The main antagonist (Dr. Zomboss) can use these abilities as well.

This is Jack Jackson with Biff Biffson of Channel 8 Architecture News–what do you have for us Biff?
Well Jack, today is the official opening of the Video Games and the Bible Inaugural Bridge, and I must say, its creator certainly went with an…INTERESTING design.
Is that a skateboard ramp?
No, this is the magnificent bridge that will transport us from one area of the city to–
is it supposed to be moving?
I hear that the Bridge Constructor has gone back to the drawing board.
That they have, Jack. This time, they managed to provide even LESS support to essential sections.
That looked pretty bad, Biff.
Yes, but now the Bridge Constructor has come up with a sure-fire solution.
Good news Jack–the first car has successfully crossed Video Games and the Bible Inaugural Bridge!
That’s great, Biff! What about trucks?
City officials do not recommend using trucks at this time.

Chronology seems to have the perfect mix.
Thought-provoking gameplay:
Stunning art:
A family-friendly style:
However, like many other seemingly family-friendly games, Chronology’s plot contains anti-biblical elements that Christian families should be aware of.
