Portal 2 - a matter of trust

Trailer: The latest video for Portal 2 has almost no gameplay, but still makes us want to the game more than just about anything we can think of.

You know, if Valve came out tomorrow with the news that it was planning on shutting down the Portal franchise, and was instead focusing on it as a movie property, I don't think we'd mourn too much. The Aperture Science infomercials that Valve's been releasing have just been that damn funny.

We missed hosting the first one - our EA rep's been silly-busy - but we're on board with this second one. This trailer has everything good: firey pits of doom, self-harming robots, spring traps, and serious, serious trust issues.

In it you'll discover the HUGE trust advantage that robots have over fleshy humans like you or me. And, yes, we would push you into a firey pit to play this game now, as opposed to its April 21 release date.

"...and was instead focusing on it as a movie property, I don't think we'd mourn too much."

I agree entirely. I only hope that the game will be as funny as the Aperture Science videos.

Also pre-ordered it as soon as I could via Steam.
