I love pinball, though still haven’t gotten into digital pinball, but Captain America is getting the table treatment for Marvel Pinball and Pinball FX2.  Available June 28 on the Playstation Network and June 29 on Xbox Live, this looks cool enough I might give it a try.

Also, does this video pretty much confirm to expect the Cosmic Cube in the upcoming movie, Captain America: First Avenger?  That sure looks like it floating next to Cap.
