Portal2 is out for preordering on steam now. -10% off now, and it’ll come out in April. You’ll also get a  free copy of the first Portal, but heck, who doesn’t have that game.

Apparently Portal 2 is going to have cross-platform gameplay with the PS3, but that’s not all. Valve’s giving out free PC copies of Portal 2 to anyone who buys the PS3 version and links their account with Steam.

I don’t know what to think. With the recent meltdown on the PS3 security checks it’s becoming more and more attractive to me.

Portal 2 is officially confirmed. It’ll also have co-op. More coverage here. You can almost feel the excitement violently emanating from me.

New TF2 blog post discussing one engineer unlock Valve has been thinking of. Truly, the engie is very hard to balance or modify without breaking something else severely.

Portal got updated again, this time with “Added valuable asset retrieval” being the only change. Goes without saying the steam forums are already looking into this incessantly. Edit: One hour later, a new endgame sequence.

Valve is also not so subtly hinting at the steam platform coming to the Mac. I don’t know if it’s intentional, but some ads seem to poke fun at the Mac’s shortcomings.

Valve updated Portal a few moments ago with this cryptic line being the sole change.

Portal

• Changed radio transmission frequency to comply with federal and state spectrum management regulations

Don’t ask me what this means, but there’s a new achievement for the game, and Steamforums posters are already all over this. For now all we know is that there’s rumors of a radio in each chamber, and they play different messages, in morse code or whatever. As an European, I can’t check it out, as Valve updates always come at the darnedest times.

EDIT: More decodes. Cheers for the link, Lunch.
