WOO!

I lost the original Portal when my old hard drive crashed, though. :(

Slightly off-topic: I've heard of Portal: First Slice and Portal: Prelude. Are they both different games of Portal?

First Slice is a 12-level demo of the original Portal. It's free.

Portal: Prelude is free as long as you have Portal which is required for Prelude to work. (Some got it working on pirated versions and some got it working on first slice, but it's "unofficial")

It's a fan-made mod that's set before the launch of GLaDOS, has insanely polished and well designed maps, and is known and both praised and panned for it's relentless difficulty.
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

On the gameinformer wesite it says portal 2 will be Co-Op! :)
I'm assuming that this means that player one will shoot blue and orange portals, and player 2 will shoot 2 other colours.

Nah, one shoots Blue and Green, another shoots Orange and Purple, and finally one shoots Yellow and Red. Complimentary colors leas to each other, of course.

But what about the original blue and orange? That would mess us up after knowing the old portal colors so well.

So apparently Portal 2 takes place hundreds of years after the original.

Co-op mode confirmed. Supposed to be as long as HL2 if not longer.

Also GLaDOS is as sarcastic as ever. :lol:

I was led to believe that there would be sombreros, and of course, Mr. Needlemouse in Sonic 4. Evil Sonic Cycle. I always wanted an official Sonic game with Mr. Needlemouse.

Can't wait to see Portal 2 come out. Finally more time to play dominoes with the turrets.
