Team Xbox has posted an article about Zen Studios up and coming pinball game for the Xbox 360 that will soon be available on Xbox Live Arcade. I have been wondering for the past year if someone would come out with a pinball game for the Xbox 360. One of the things mentioned is multiplayer over live, so once it is out look me up on Live (gamertag:
rijit) and I will be happy to try and beat you down on some pinball ;) The article also has about a dozen screenshots of the three different tables that will be available initially. I will, of course, post more information as it becomes available.
Quote from the article: "Zen Studios’ new Pinball FX offers an unparalleled pinball experience for novices and experts alike. It combines the arcade thrills of traditional pinball with enhanced gameplay and exciting, innovative features not found in any other pinball game. With the power of the Xbox 360 behind it, Pinball FX sets a new standard for realistic ball physics and graphical detail in pinball video games."
