"Well, I believe Doug Lombardi who is our lead marketing director at Valve, has announced Portal 2," said Swift in an interview with G4TV.

i haven't even played the first one!

you need to make sure you do, it was one of the best games released last year.

I finished the demo (like 9 levels IIRC) in less than 10 minutes. Is the whole game about 20 min in duration? It's expensive.

Having said that,
Yes, it is very fun and every gamer should play it.

First 9 levels were piece of cake. But the latter 5 took some time to get hang of. I finished Portal in 3 hours and spent many more playing challenge modes.

yeah main single player game is a bit short, but its worth it, as someone else said a lot of other goodies in the game to waste time on

I'd rather see Valve focus on HL2: Episode 3...allocating resources to other projects is what delayed Episode 2 for so long (Team Fortress 2, Portal)

Maybe it is Ep. 3. Half-Life 2: Episode 3: Portal 2.

Wasn't there a rumour at one point that Freeman would find the portal gun in Ep3? I can see hundreds of hours of opening portals for the zombies into hazards or something
