Pinball pack for a weekly Bundle

A cool collection of digital pinball tables for fans of Star Wars and Marvel Comics. There are only a 3 days left from the original 7 to pick this up.

Zen Studios developers of Pinbal FX2 are offering up pretty much all of the Star Wars and Marvel related tables they have released so far. Going for around 6 USD at the time of this post.






If you pay for the 2nd tier minimum you also get....

  • More Marvel tables ( X-men, Thor, Deadpool) 
  • More Star Wars ( based on the Prequel trilogy)  

If you can get past the "floaty" ball physics then you will be treated to tables that have some great action sequences that a physical table just couldn't really pull off all that well.

Of course you will need a Steam account and Client to redeem the Steam Key codes to play and install the game on your computer. the other cool thing about buying from this site/sale is that you can choose which groups involved should get more of your money.  Zen Studios, The charities or Humble Indie Bundle.

Games I'm currently playing: Aliens versus Predator for The PC

Not the remake but the old-school one. Released around the same time as the original Half - Life if i remember correctly.  Aliens Versus Predator is a First Person sometimes shooting other times clawing, other times stealth action game from the 1990s. Just look at the rendered computer setups in the screenshot! I got the game for free by supporting and testing the online multiplayer.
Screenshot taken with Graphics settings maxed out. Haha

 In order to take this screenshot I was playing as a Marine/Human with the Pulse Rifle at the ready.  The game runs even on the most current releases of Windows at Max graphical quality.  I want to talk about the map seen in the screenshot...

Mario Kart 8 - Nintendo changed the post-race menu at some point

Mario Kart 8 is the most current version of Nintendo's cart racing series that started back in the 90s.



Mario Kart 8 menu before
Before: When Mario Kart 8 was launched
When I watched initial gameplay video  I was one of those people that wondered why you would put "View Highlight Reel"  as the default selected action when playing Gran Prix modes. Most players would want to get on to the next new track. 


After

Quite a few other gamers also voiced this opinion and Nintendo seems to be listening and able to patch/update the game to make various tweaks. Moved the menu around.   The game was released at the end of May this year and I just noticed the change now since the release of the MK8 DLC release.
