The Pinball Arcade (PS3) The Machine: Bride of PIN•BOT

Here is some gameplay of me playing one of my favorite real-life tables, The Machine: Bride of PIN•BOT from the PlayStation 3 digital download game, The Pinball Arcade developed by FarSight Studios. I had a solid game going but wasn't my best game to date. Too many "if only" moments but that's pinball.
