I’m a real fan of the original Portal game that Valve Software released back in 2007. Valve managed to create a game with a deep and interesting story, around a very simple game-play mechanic; namely, being able to create portals with a big futuristic gun and solve puzzles using said gun. Valve is back at it again, and they’ve released a very cute (and gruesome) trailer for their upcoming Portal 2 game.
I really enjoy the art style of the trailer, and it seems to feature Valves trademark dark humor. I’m really looking forward to seeing what they’ve pulled off with the sequel, especially in terms of the co-operative play. I envision many late nights of drunken Portal play with friends.
Portal 2 is slated for release in April 2011, and you can pre-order now on the official Portal 2 website.
