Portal 2 is the sequel to the acclaimed first-person puzzle game, carrying forward its love of mind-bending problems and its reckless disregard for the space-time continuum.
Game informer released an article about the April cover, and it is PORTAL TWO. And I am getting the magazine, and can't wait. This will be awesome.

Valve is known for making quality first-person shooters: The Half-Life series redefined how players think about the FPS genre, while titles like Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead took team-oriented multiplayer action to a whole new level. But among Valve's stable of popular shooters, one game stands alone: the mind-bending puzzler, Portal. A small-scale experiment that was squeezed into 2007's The Orange Box alongside some powerful heavyweights, the love Portal received from fans was beyond anything Valve could have imagined, winning it a full-fledged, standalone sequel. Our 12-page cover story gives you the first details on Portal 2's new gameplay mechanics, storyline, and some surprising new twists.
Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike and Half-Life) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Portal 2 for shipment this coming holiday season.
Portal 2 is the sequel to 2007's Portal, which won 70 industry achievement awards.
I don't want to turn this into a negative, but so they were able to turnover Left 4 Dead 2 in a year, Portal 2 in (probably) three years. But there are no new Half-Life announcements this year? I really hope portal can hold me over until 2073 when they finally announce Half-Life 2 episode 3 or Half-Life 3. Or maybe this will be called...Half-Life 2: Episode 3: Portal 2...Hopefully.
sweet cant wait i got the orange box and still paid 15$ for portal still alive on xbl just for some more portal levels. Ireally want ep.3 but ill be glad to pay 60$ for a full portal experience with allthat vegetation growth i wonder how long is been since the first portal
@august: Oh weird.... actually I think I might have some of that old shit laying around. I don't care enough to go through the effort of trying it though. I'm sure somebody else will or has done it already.
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. Portal 2 draws from the award-winning formula of innovative gameplay, story, and music that earned the original Portal over 70 industry accolades and created a cult following. 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.
" @FluxWaveZ: Counter-strike 2, Episode 3, Portal ? but, I guess if they already confirmed stand-alone, then my argument is moot. "
Well, yeah, if those were going to be released before the holidays of 2010, and assuming Valve would rather pack them all up together and gain less profit than selling them all individually.
