Last week, or maybe the week before, the folks from Zen Studios, maker of the rad multi-platform
Pinball FX2, released a teaser indicating that they were going to release a new table with a distinctly Valve theme. Speculation ran wild....would it be a
Team Fortress 2 table?
Half-Life (oooh that would be great!)? What could it possible be?
Speculate no more...it's going to be a
Portal themed table! No, that cake ain't a lie...here's the blog entry from the Zen Studios
Pinball FX2 page:
"Portal Pinball is Teleporting to a Zen Studios Pinball Platform Near You". All the images look great--the table features a whole bevy of characters from
Portal and
Portal 2...Chell, Wheatley, GLaDOS, ATLAS, and P-Body. The blog entry also hints at puzzle chamber-like challenges.
I've greatly enjoyed the various spins that Zen Studios is able to put on something as classic as pinball. They've managed to re-ignite my interest in an arcade staple with their myriad of table themes.
The
Portal table premieres the week of May 25th.
