From October 26th (which is now in the past for me) to November 1st, you can get a free table, called Paranormal, for the game Pinball FX2 on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Once the offer is kaput, table’s price will be raised to 240 points.
You seem to have to depend on word-of-mouth to know about anything free from Microsoft–that’s just how it was when I found out I could get Carcassone and Undertow for free. So thanks to my friend Terry for the info!
Pinball FX2 doesn’t cost anything, and comes with some trial tables. I’ve had it for a long time, but I couldn’t justify paying the asking price to unlock some of the full tables. I’m actually very fond of pinball games, so I’m glad they put this one up for free (especially with the spookiest day of the year almost upon us). I’ve already played it for a couple hours, and it’s shockingly realistic, fun, and full-featured–but I guess all modern games seem that way when memories of Sonic Spinball, Kirby’s Pinball Land, and Maxis’ 3D Pinball for Windows still swim around in your head 
Anyway, addictive and authentic pinball action it is, and I highly recommend it.
So GO GET IT!
