Well, for what typically is a fairly slow time of the year for pinball and arcade releases, there certainly has not been any lack of things to talk about over the past week(ish). OK, it's probably been more like two weeks since the last recap, but there's been no shortage of articles to read here. Below I am going share button links to all of the recent Knapp Arcade articles.
