Half Life 2: Episode 2

So HL2: Episode 2 is due out in Q4 of 2006 sometime. It was recently announced that it would ship with two extra games. One is Team Fortress 2. The other is a new game called portal that used the HL engine in a very interesting way. Basically you have a "portal" gun where you can shoot and create portals to solve puzzles. For instance, say there's a big gap in your way, and you need to cross. Well, simply zap a portal over the gap, then zap another right next to you, and walk through. Video(should be first one the page, otherwise scroll down, title is " Portal Trailer 1";)
Also it was announced that HL2: Episode two would be coming to consoles, and the console versions would also be packaged with Half Life: 2 and Half Life 2: Episode 1 AND the two new extra games.

portal game sounds like some theft of ideas from Prey :P or maybe its other way? lol
well sorta, except in prey you don't have a gun that makes them. Plus its like, the whole focus of the game.


yeah its silly... prey was advertised all over and i hear its not too good... and here we have a whole new game (i never heard about this Portal tbh) which sounds and looks so much better even without that spirit form and wallwalking crap.
but ummm anywayz... this Portal game is it singleplayer , multiplayer or both?

as for teamfortress2... seriously when i was watching the trailer i thought its a joke... but then i realised that its gonna be like that :eek:
its not too bad... but im surprised :)

ps. i really like the Portal trailer :) not only the things that are shown about the game , but ... the way you are shown those things :)
