Portal
 
I don't know how many of you have seen this stuff, but it's awesome!

Valve announced the Half-Life 2 collection for the 360 and PS3. Basically; it's Half-Life 2, Half-Life Episodes 1&2, Team Fortress 2 (Insanity), and Portal.

Portal looks like the most insane game I've ever seen. It's based off a project by some Digipen students. Valve decided to throw Source behind it and polish it up. You can download the original project called Narbacular Drop on a couple sites. Just search for it on Google and you'll find it. It looks rough, but it plays amazingly.

Go here to find the Portal trailer. Then check out Narbacular Drop, or vice-versa, whatever. It's totally awesome.

Basically it's a game revolving around creating portals in various places to solve puzzles. For instance, in one part of Narbacular Drop you have to put a portal in the ceiling above a switch, then put a portal under a box. The box falls through the portal and comes out of the ceiling onto the switch, which in turn opens a door.

I'm extremely excited for the Half-Life 2 Collection. Not even for Half-Life 2, but for Team Fortress 2, and more importantly, Portal.

I saw the trailer for the game a few days ago, and I was blown away. I'm really excited for Portals. It looks so awesome.

I skimped on Half Life for PC because I hate keyboard and mouse. I didn't have an Xbox and didnt' get to play the original, and it was degraded anyway. I'm soooo buying this set. It looks like the ultimate package of fun.

This is kinda old news, but Valve confirmed Portal 2, which I think is awesome. In not so awesome news, it's apparently not going to be released anytime this year.

Yeah, Valve wants to make the next one that much more awesome than the original. Ignorant fools. I just want new levels for the original by some quality designers! Still, I can't wait to see what new ideas they'll come up with.

Yes, I am anxious as well... have you downloaded any of the hacks to use the portal gun in hl2 levels? I havent gotten around to it yet but it looks like it would be a good time

I'm surprised they're even making a Portal 2. I figured that the portal gun would just show up in the next HL episode.

I haven't gotten around to it yet either. I mostly just like solving the puzzles. ^_^
