Review: Portal 2

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Tuesday, 19th of April 2011 - 03:02 PM ]

So here we are again, apparently only a few months after the events of Portal (assumed from in-game interactions). Still trapped in Aperture Science. Still being tested. Read More...

Falling To Your Death Issue Has Been Solved In Portal 2

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 13th of April 2011 - 03:00 PM ]

Doesn't it bug you in games when non-supernatural heroes or villains can fall from hundreds of feet and survive without rhyme or reason? Or for that matter, falling 20 feet almost kills them out right. It is a mix between realism and game play that designers have to take into account. Read More...

Who Wouldn't Want Some New Portal 2 Screens?

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 2nd of March 2011 - 11:02 AM ]

Am I right or am I right? With April seeming so far off, at least for me, I know I will take every little bit I can get for Portal 2 as it comes out. Even though they don't show all that much for the game that we haven't already been able to extrapolate. Read More...

A Couple That Portals Together Stays Together

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 14th of February 2011 - 03:59 PM ]

What better way to celebrate VD* than to have a fun little advertisement for Portal 2? I learned quite a few things from this little clip for Valentine's Day as well. Like that 54% of women are allergic to chocolate, flowers are filled with bees and that four out of five people are crushed to death by giant diamonds every day. Read More...

We Got To See A Hydra Use A Portal At CES

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 14th of January 2011 - 03:24 PM ]

At last year's CES we were introduced to a product called Sixense. It was a motion controller being made by one of the smaller companies Razor had under its wing. Sixense was a really cool device with A LOT of potential, but nothing seems to have happened over the last year. Read More...

Aperture Science Has Ramped Up The Tests

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Sunday, 4th of July 2010 - 11:17 AM ]

I remember way back when I first cracked open my copy of Portal on my PC. Yes I cracked open a copy of a digital download, because it fits my nostalgia. I remember enjoying each level of the game that lead up to the big showdown with GLaDOS and finding out that the cake was indeed not a lie. Read More...

Valve Announces Portal For Free

by Brian Goodman [ Friday, 14th of May 2010 - 09:40 AM ]

In celebration of the delayed release of Valve's popular digital distribution platform on the Mac, it has been announced that until May 24th you can download the 2007 cult hit Portal for free on either PC or Mac. If you're like me and refused to buy the Orange Box when it came out because it forced you to buy two games you already bought, but STILL love the brilliant blend of flawless mechanics, dark humor, and perfect pacing of Portal, this is great news. If you are one of the three people reading this who haven't played through arguably the best three-plus hours of gaming ever, now you have no excuse. Read More...

Normally I would have some sort of opening line for many of my articles, but today I got nothing.

by Brian Goodman [ Monday, 26th of April 2010 - 09:20 AM ]

It's an exciting time to be a gamer because there is definitely a lot of pivotal stuff going on in our industry right now. Today I want to go on about a reasonably new development of an old concept. Expansion packs have been around since the mid 90's in the PC world. Read More...
