Not everything worked for me, but the stuff that did, was very effective.

Along with power tools and cooking, Leatherface was always known for his love of pinball. ... Okay, not really, but that didn't stop the good people of Zen Studios from making "Texas Chainsaw Massacre Pinball" for "Pinball M." Here's the link to my review of this bloody good virtual pinball table.

Well, this was really good, especially in her use of varied structures, and how they never became crutches or made these feel like novelties.
