Sweet! Did they say if it is during the Combine invasion, and will it link to HL2: Episode 3?

Coming this holiday. Portal 2 is the sequel to 2007's Game of the Year and draws from the award-winning formula of innovative game play, story, and music that earned the original over 70 industry accolades. Features single and multiplayer co-op modes. The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game. The game’s two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals. Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively.

Multiplayer deathmatch using the turrets and energy balls as ammo.

Meh could care less about another portal. More interested in Episode 3 or just making a Half Life 3.
Hi
Psh, I am excited about Portal 2. They are working on a device like that so they can eventually incorporate it into a game like Half Life. Something that will work without being useless or extremely overpowered. Don't get me wrong, I am also excited about Episode 3 but I would rather see game developers working on new ways to play the game than rehashing the same material over and over.
I bought The Orange Box as soon as I got my grubby little hands on a 360. I played and loved Portal and played the hell out of TF2. But I really couldn't be bothered to finish HF2. I say bring on the Portal 2!
You're missing out on the 360. ;.;
I don't really care what I'm missing, I don't like PC gaming. When I game, I like to lean back and relax. You can't do that when you have to bother with a mouse and keyboard.
I'm going to have to agree here, PC > Console in this case. If you watch the speed runs of portal on youtube it is so much easier on the PC when you can use a mouse to point and shoot.
You're entitled to your opinion Turin... your opinion is just wrong. PC > console in this case. 
Also, color me incredibly excited.

Holy crap, I am so pumped. Portal = best game ever.
Portal was fantastic, I'm really looking forward to this.
Co-op with an entirely separate story? Signed.
This will be awesome.

I have gotten to the point about the only type of game I want to play on my PC is an MMORPG game. Id rather sit in front of my 42 inch hd tv instead of my 19 inch monitor. ID rather sit on my comfortable couch instead of my semi comfortable pc chair. Also with PC games you sometimes (although prob more rare these days) get the incompatibility issues, driver issues, lock ups, etc. Just a lot easier to put a game in your Ps3/360 then a PC. Then on PC when you upgrade to newer OS sometimes your old games don't work (Like right now Sims 2 don't work thanks to Windows 7). I am sure if I researched it I could find a work around for it but without doing something out of the ordinary I can't just put the game in my system and play it. I have a whole folder of older cd-rom games and I am sure over half of them won't work on my PC unless I download patches or do something special to get them working.
Hi
I just hook my computer to my tv and have the best of all worlds.

Scans from GameInformer. Let me quote something...
"Portal 2 takes place hundreds of years after the original game."

Not to bust your chops here but my wife plays the Sims, Sims 2, and Sims 3 on Windows 7 64bit just fine. Somehow I doubt it is Windows 7 causing the issue, we didn't have to do anything special to get it working.
I spent a pretty penny on my office chair so it is nice and comfy, and my 2 24" monitors do just fine. I agree though that sometimes I just want to sit back on the couch and relax, but FPS's and consoles don't mix IMHO
That is true, you just don't get the responsiveness you need on a console fps than what you would get on the computer. But I would have to agree with Fronglo. Sitting on my couch playing games is more comfortable than on the computer. This is more due to my chair being a cheap **** Walmart chair. :l I tend to wait and see how cross platforms perform and how my current computer will be able to handle it before I choose whether console or computer would be a better buy. This computer is better than my laptop but not by much and I would struggle with some of the games that I enjoy on my 360.
I spent nearly $200 on a nice executive chair, but then again, I spend a lot of time in front of the computer since I work from home twice a week and spend a lot of spare time coding as well.

Honestly, if you need a mouse to play an FPS, you just aren't very good. I have a ton more respect for a decent 360 TF2 Sniper than I do for his PC counterpart. Basically, playing with a mouse is easy mode. I just wish there were more decent console FPS. There are a lot of the FPSs, but not very many of them are good.

Er, what? If you play with a controller, you have a very limited skill cap. With a mouse, your skill cap is virtually unlimited. It takes years to get great at say twitch shots.
Anyone that's spent a few years playing around on the internet already has all of the "skill" needed to play a PC FPS, all it is is point and click. It's much harder to line up a shot with just your thumb than it is with your entire hand.

You must still play FFXI. Being harder or more work doesn't make something more fun.

I have to agree with the general consensus that PC > Controller for FPS. I hate the genre so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but the few that I play (Bioshock, Portal, Oblivion) PC is the only way to go. I've even played Portal and Oblivion on PS3, and I much prefer the PC versions.
