Continuing the tradition of my previous Midway guides, I'd like to keep most info in this thread.
*This will be an ongoing work in progress, so this thread will be bare until I have more time with this new space.*
Please post your hints and tips and add further discussion in here, thanks!
NOTE: I'll update this when I have time. I'll go over all the posts and include the best tips.
-
The games -
1: Bigfoot

Tips: Aim for center, and most angles above 45 degrees should yield a field goal

-
2: Scattershot

Tips: Aim for the Meteors (50), Alien face (100) and Rockets(75) for the most points.
Sometimes I like to "linger" in a small area and let the targets come to the crosshair.

3: Miz Fortune 3
Help link: http://community.us.playstation.com/thread/1839510
Tips: Level 9 and 10 = Wait for Light Green to appear, then pause a little bit before pressing X. The Fuschia/Hot Pink (level 9) and Yellow (level 10) both alternate on the 2 Light Greens. I think you'll get Blue if you press X too fast.

4: Marla's Whack Off

Tips: Take your time with each shot, but not too much time. You seem to get punished hard for missing some shots.

-
5: Light Me Up

Tips: Try and learn "rhythmic mashing". This is done by pressing x in a consistent manner, like counting 1, 2,3, 4, 5, 6. You can adjust the speed, as long as it's also steady.

6: Dead Ringer

Tips: Center your shot, and hold it to slightly above 2nd line.

-
7: Pull My Finger

8: Beans Beans Beans

Tips: It's hard to see the colors, so use the clown face for reference instead. Example, toss a bean bag when the face is near centered, like a 10 degree shift.

-
9: Puck It

Tips: The "paddle" is rather sensitive, so learn how to move it slowly for those "off center" blocks.

-
10: Penny Pincher

Tips: The Hot spot is centered, around the middle of the blue hex.

Info: This is the Central area that connects all 3 Midways. More games will be added over the coming months.

Funny that I cant participate of the Giveaways... My country always gets left out. Is not fair really. Cause I'm not in the 50 States but I'm a legal resident of the USA.... -_- Good one Sony. Really. My country is like any other state but you guys again left us out. Thanks, a lot really. Thats why I don't spend has much has I did back in the day. And none of my Puertoricans friends either cause doesn't matter what we do we are no part of this community, always putting us aside has trash.

1st Impressions:
The games are fun. I'm afraid these games have more of a random element now.
Think it'll be awhile before I finish this up. Still trying for today though =)

Word from some is that at the moment, Midway 3 is rewarding Midway 2 items...
I was able to easily buy a Green Ticket off my Navagator under New and Recommended...
But I'm going to wait to play until I hear confirmation about the rewards.

Nice! Will try to help out as much as I can!

I did get a shirt when I arrived from Midway 1, Mass Media Did say they were bringing updates and fixes along with Midway 3 so I figured that was part of it. Otherwise the rewards seem to be what they should so far. 8)

Midway 3 froze on my twice this morning. Either there is a freezer in there or ps home really screwed up big time. I absolutely hate ps home this morning.
