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.
