Pinball Hall of Fame: The WIlliams Collection Rolls Onto PS3, 360

In the "It's about time!" department: Crave has announced that Farsight Studios latest collection of classic pinball tables (in handy digital form), Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection is now available at retail. If you're looking at that cover art and wondering "What's pinball?", well... that's exactly WHY you need to spend the $40 on this one. Me, I grew up playing pinball (back in 1972, Gottlieb's 'Batter Up!' was my introduction to the silver ball) and I was a big fan of FarSight's PHOF: The Gottlieb Collection from a few years back, so this new set of silver ball oldies should be a real treat.



Anyway, here's a bit of the press release:

“The Pinball Hall of Fame franchise was built on delivering the highest level of authenticity to the most discerning pinball players,” said Betsi Gijanto, executive vice president, Crave Entertainment. “With three brand new Williams tables, leaderboards, the 4-player multi-play option and high-definition graphics, Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection for Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 upholds that standard while providing gamers with everything they’d expect on the latest game systems.
