PC - Half-Life 2 - Portal disgorges new info New details emerging from Valve's puzzle venture Portal have revealed that that the game's storyline is set in the Half-Life 2 world.

According to a report on 1up, the team beavering away on Portal are in cahoots with Half-Life plot scribe Marc Laidlaw to ensure it the storyline not only slots into the overall HL story arc but also develops the universe where possible.

A new, key female character - presumably the origin of the disembodied voice heard in the Portal trailers - is to be introduced too, level designer Kim Swift explaining that "The origins of this character will be clear... eventually". Discussing Portal in broader terms, Swift also cryptically said that, "Kind of like the rest of the Half-Life games, as you play through it, it should give you some answers as to who you are, but at the same time it raises more questions".

PC - Half-Life 2 - Valve confirms slip for Episode Two Valve Software has revealed it's now aiming for a Q1 2007 release for Half-Life 2: Episode Two, so sadly it will miss the originally expected late 2006 launch.

According to a report on EuroGamer, the developer's Doug Lombardi has said that February 2007 is most likely for Episode Two's debut. "You know, our thing is always that we're trying to make really good experiences and so we're going to manage to that rather than the schedule", Lombardi explained when speaking about the delay at the on-going Games Convention in Leipzig.

Half-Life 2: Episode Two will release with Team Fortress 2 and Valve's mind-bending puzzle venture Portal. PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Half-Life 2 - which include Episode One, Two and TF2 and Portal - are expected to materialise at the same time as Episode Two on PC.
