I like new tables. I can post a high score for one before my friends play, and blast my score for being so low.

Pinball FX2 is a Windows 8 shop exclusive.

Ah that explains it. Kinda odd they waited so long to put it out for the platform. I'll have to check it out if I ever feel the need to get rid of Win7.

GOOD QUESTION! The developers at Zen Studios even put a game on the 3DS eShop - a version of Zen Pinball, if I recall correct. The lack of Steam support is baffling.

At any rate, I loathe zombies, but if you're going to go that route, might as well go with Popcap's art and humor. I... could learn to like this. Maybe.

I almost read this as "Pinball VS. Zombies". Now, I fear the day when someone will actually make that game and dump it on the App Store. And that it'll sell boatloads because stupid gamers can't get enough zombies. *sigh*

Alright when i read this title i thought it was going to be a licenced table... I guess this is less weird than that would have been but it is still pretty strange.

I'm excited for this. I'm exactly the kind of sucker Zen is looking for. I buy everything for PFX2 or Zen. I've been buying Pinball Arcade titles too but having to buy two-table packs with recycled (although significantly improved) Pinball Hall of Fame titles pisses me off. I don't get too worried comparing the physics engine. I just make adjustments accordingly. I like the video gamey quality of the Zen tables but I love the real-world Pinball Arcade titles too.

You turn into a zombie if you were a beige sport coat and a red tie.

Even pinball is not immune to zombie games.

The sequel is going to outsell the first one by massive amounts if it's any good.

I never much cared for pinball until recently; the Zen pinball games have me hooked. Hopefully this is a good one.

It basically is in terms of price. Pinball FX2 is free, so all you need to buy is this table.

When Zen Pinball 2 is released September 4th, it will be a free shell download, and if you want, you can pick up this table by itself for the $2.50 asking price.

It'll be using Zen Pinball 2's physics, but even ZP1 is light-years beyond most any other pinball sim. Pinball Arcade's physics are terrible shallow in comparison, and don't give you the full breadth of control over the ball that the Zen series of titles do. Read 's review of that to get an idea of what I'm talking about. He puts it all together very well.

That's pretty interesting, if I have some extra points I might look into it.
