Game Informer has revealed that the sequel to Portal — one of the most unique and creative games I’ve played in the last few years — will be released this holiday season! Here’s what you can learn in the latest issue of GI.
Our 12-page cover story gives you the first details on Portal 2’s new gameplay mechanics, storyline, and some surprising new twists.
I’m super-psyched for this game! How about you guys and dolls?
The first game was an absolute gem. You'd have thought when you picked up The Orange Box that it was just a throwaway game compared to all the Half Life content and Team Fortress 2. But I spent more time w/ Portal than with the rest of what was on the disc.
I never played the Still Alive compilation of this game. I honestly don't see myself putting $60 into it if it is stand alone. Maybe $10. It is just a puzzle game to me in the end.

Same here, but if I see it on sale I’m buying it. Maybe this time I’ll get it for my PC instead.
How do I feel about this?!! Are you serious? Let’s see… how can I put my feelings about this in more creative terms….
OK, first go and open up this link in a separate tab/window:

Hit play or have N8 play it on his guitar and follow along…

This is a triumph.
I’m making a note here: AWSOME NEWS!
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Holiday Season.
That is the date
it will come out
for the good of all of us
except for those who are dead.
But there’s no sense crying over those who can’t play
I’ll take insults from a computer over Navi any day
Then the puzzles get solved
And you get to feel evolved
For the people who still play the game.
I’m not even angry.
I’m being so super serial right now.
Even though they promised me
Episode three
What’s up with that, Valve?
Are you just lazy or don’t you care?
Didn’t you plan to make a sequel to
Half Life, episode two?
Or was it all just a ruse to make us glad we’re not you?
And you keep on promising
Until we turn blue
Now I’m not slighting you hard
Because your planner’s a retard
To the people who still play the game.
Go ahead and tell me
That you’re still working on that game.
Meanwhile you’ll release Left 4 Dead 3.
Maybe the next month.
That was a joke,
Ha, Ha, Fat chance.
Anyway, Portal 2 is great.
But will it be as good as the first
Since people on the message boards love to compare
And the forms are full of tweens who’d make you pull out your hair.
Then you get all pissed off
At some Kraut who likes the Hoff
And the people who still play the game
And believe me, I will play the game.
I’m doing hits and I’ll still play the game.
I’m slightly buzzed and I will play the game.
And when you’re dying I will play the game.
And when you’re dead I will still play the game.
Play the game
Play the game.
