Zen Studios and Valve Software are teaming up to bring one of Valve's most iconic games to the pinball world. Portal Pinball will center around Chell, GLaDOS, Wheatley, and the tests in Apeture Labs.
The co-op robots ATLAS and P-Body will be making an appearance too. Zen teased a Valve image a few weeks ago and there were many of us on the staff speculating that it would be either Half-Life or Portal related for a pinball table. Well, Portal it is and I think the potential for this table is pretty damn good.
Portal Pinball will be available May 25th for a plethora of platforms.
