Pinball FX 2 Delayed

Originally set to release tomorrow, October 13th, as part of "Game Feast", Pinball FX 2 has been pushed back until October 27th. They will be expanding the "Game Feast" event to include the new release date, which is kool, and taking the time to make sure everything, including the vaunted backwards compatibility works with Pinball FX is just good decision making. I'm looking forward to thi8s one in a big way, and since it will now be out on my birthday, I'm a happy pinballer! I may have to find a way to celebrate (contest? for free games?) here on TXB, so those wanting this title should pay special attention as time draws near. Here’s the official Press Release for all the details.
