In my opinion, i would vote for FAMILY GUY as the BEST STERN made. (based on deep rule set, humour and playfield set up).

Next i would say "The Simpsons Pinball Party", only because it attracts so many younger people to play pinball. Purely from a visual point of view, its a great looking colourful machine.

I always found POTC and LOTR very very dark machines to play. CSI is a well made game from a players point of view with neat things on the playfield, but the ageing cast members on the translite make it a little ho hum to look at.

WHAT will STERN MAKE NEXT ?     MAYBE THE NEXT ONE MIGHT BE THE BEST !
