Check this out: this fall, Half-Life 2: Episode Two is set to be released. Coming with it is a game called
Portal. The genre itself is enough to draw my attention: a first person puzzle game. The idea is that you can use a device to shoot two portals into walls. The result is, obviously, a portal perfectly connecting the two impact points. Light, momentum, gravity; it's all taken into account.
I'm not too up-to date on Half-Life, so I probably won't end up getting Portal. Still, Portal does look cool. Check out the
gameplay video.
