I’ll stop posting about Portal 2 when it starts boring me. In the meantime, please enjoy these spoilers. It’s amazing what you can do with little more than a cube and Chell’s right arm. I wonder whether and to what degree Valve anticipated this sort of thing. Surely it’s expected that a game about breaking [...]

It’s hard to talk about Portal games without spoiling them. However, it’s fair to say that a strong lineage carries a burden of expectation. Portal 2 rises to that burden with a combination of diverse content, expert craftsmanship, and brilliant writing.

Keep in mind that this includes Kirby: Epic Yarn, but somebody already covered that elsewhere. Everything else is here.

Seeing how I spend a few hours each week prying words from my gums, it’s always a pleasure to read good copy. Valve just sent out the following press release about the cancellation of their E3 Portal 2 event. Fortunately, the cancellation will be replaced by a series of carefully scheduled surprises, so you can [...]
