Well I liked Half Life 2, and i'm sure episode 2 will be cool... but portal interestes me even more!

I really wanna play around with that... and from what I'm hearing, the game 'portal' comes packaged with HL2 EP 2, and also takes place in the HL universe, so maybe we'll see some crossover with the devices? maybe the portal gun will have its place in the actual game itself? cause that would be great! *imagines multiplayer* XD

I did some research on Portal, its based on (and made by the same guys that made) Narbacular Drop, which is a (oldish graphics) short game (probably made for a college project) that uses the same concept (controlling 2 portals to solve puzzles). In fact, Valve actually hired the guys that made Narbacular Drop, to make Portal for them!
If you'd like to download this game to try out the portals yourself go here:

I can't wait for Portal to come out! ^_~
