Kim Swift, the designer behind Valve’s Portal, has left the developer to join Airtight games, the developers behind the upcoming Dark Void.

This person, as with virtually everyone else on the Internet, likes Portal. As with a great majority, he decided to make something that references the game. The thing about this one, though, is not only that it is probably the best Companion Cube I’ve ever seen, it opens up to reveal the Portal cake (also [...]

To those of you who haven’t picked up The Orange Box in some form or another, shame on you. Now’s your best chance, as The Orange Box is on sale this weekend for 66% off. That’s a measly $10 for Half-Life 2, Episodes One and Two, the glorious Portal, and the love of Sam Naylor’s [...]

[youtube width="510" height="402"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OybiXxxkQG8[/youtube] Gamers have accomplished some very amazing things with musical instruments. I’ve seen a man beatbox while playing the Super Mario Bros. theme on the flute, I’ve seen someone perform the Tetris theme with a tesla coil, and I’ve even seen a man play the Legend of Zelda theme on his hands. But [...]

Remember the rooftop stage from Mirror’s Edge? It was first shown in the initial gameplay trailer as well as being prominently featured in the E3 08 trailer and demonstrations to the press. Well, Portal modder EvilWeevil has taken it upon himself to bring that stage to life in Portal.

During our liveblog of the Microsoft E3 press conference, Andrew reported on new Portal content for the Xbox 360 as the room erupted with cheers. 11:21 am: GladOs introduces Portal: Still Alive, with new, more challenging levels. And it’s coming out this year to Xbox Live Arcade. Sweet! Hearty applause. I have a feeling that [...]

Microsoft’s E3 Conference, which you can experience via our live blogging, has just revealed an exciting Xbox 360 title.  GladOs (yes, “she” was a guest speaker) has announced a new Portal game will be released exclusively for the Xbox 360 this year.

From the creators of Half Life: Full Life Consequences 1 & 2, comes possibly their greatest production to date. The film is 22 minutes of unrelenting memes created in Garry’s Mod, a popular mod for the Source Engine . Is it a hit, a miss, or just both and neither all at the same time? [...]

When Eurogamer.net spoke with Valve’s Marketing Director, Doug Lombardi, he explained there would be no new Portal in 2008, but the next edition of the series would be something special.

While conversing with X-Play’s Morgan Webb, Portal lead designer Kim Swift confirmed the existence of Portal 2, saying “I believe Doug Lombardi, who is our lead marketing director at Valve, has announced Portal 2.” Companion Cube 2.0? Yes, please.

In a move many people wished had been made when the Orange Box launched, EA have announced that TF2, HL2:ep2 and Portal will soon be sold individually for PC.

No rumour, this one’s straight from the horse’s mouth. Valve has confirmed that there will be a sequel to Portal. Valve’s marketing director Doug Lombardi assured gamers that a sequel will make an appearance, but true to form there’s no timescale on it whatsoever.

Nvidia and Valve have joined forces and to kick it off they’re handing out exclusive games to Nvidia users.
