Valve and Zen Studios team up for Portal Pinball, out on May 25th

Zen Studios has teamed up with Valve to create pinball tables based on the first-person puzzler Portal.

Called "Portal Pinball," it will be available for £1.49 / $1.99 as DLC for Zen Pinball 2, Pinball FX 2 on mobile. The console version (PS Vita included) will cost £2.49 / $2.99.

As you play, you'll hold in your hands the "Aperture Science Heuristic Portal Pinball Device." Using this, you'll guide Chell and Wheatley through Aperture Science's test chambers using portals. It should work pretty well.

As in the Portal games, there will also be aerial faith plates, turrets, and even a battle against GLaDOS as you attempt to escape the facility and reach the surface.

On top of that, there will be a Cooperative Testing Initiative Multiball featuring ATLAS and P-Body from the two-player co-op mode of Portal 2.

Playing along with the robotic pair, you'll cause chaos in the Turret Factory and also get to discover Ratman's hidden mini playfield.
