PC - Portal - Black Mesa mod ties Portal to the original Half-Life. Crowbar Error 42 writes "Its been very heavily hinted at that Portal is set within the Half-Life universe but like many things added to the Half-Life universe in the sequel and in the following episodes there is no mention of things like Aperture Science in the original game.

While there is nothing Valve can do about it as hopefully they are hard at work on Half-Life: Episode 3, it looks like the creators of the Half-Life 2 mod, Black Mesa are hiding small references to Portal in their mod."

PC - Portal - 'Portal' In ASCII Is Officially The Nerdiest Thing Ever  Russ Frushtick of MTV Multiplayer writes:

"Apart from being nerdy, the below video is incredibly, supremely awesome and I can't imagine the mind that constructed it.

While folks have done lo-fi versions of "Portal" before, this is pretty much unbeatable…until someone manages to recreate the game using only clockworks. The video is quaint and the beginning, but once he reveals that you can actually look through the portals and it shows up on screen, the mind begins to boggle."

The casting is for character Cave Johnson - the boss of Aperture (the company that developed the Portal Gun) who, according to the plot of the first game and the real-world Aperture science website, is dead. ... » Read More

PC - Portal - News from GameTrailer TV's Visit to Valve * New plush toys are in the works. TF2 characters will soon be your bedside companions, starting with the Heavy.
* There is presently no Counter-Strike 2, however¿
* ¿if they go ahead and start development on a Counter-Strike 2, they are leaning to taking an approach similar to what was done with TF2. Re-evaluate everything but try to stay close to the heart of Counter-Strike.
* That's not to say that CS2 would match TF2's art style.
* Portal 2 is sort of, kind of confirmed (again).
* Kim Swift wishes to explore more of the Aperture Science labs themselves, to provide more of a look at the building.
* Some very impressive Left 4 Dead footage is being shown
* Gabe states that L4D will greatly appeal to fans of Counter-Strike
* A PS3 version of L4D isn't completely ruled out, and may one day be developed.
* Goldrush for TF2 is looking to be a rather massive map, easily the size of Dustbowl with the same texture style.
* Nothing in development for the Wii and that is something Valve really wants to look at.
* Episode 3 is being worked on, in case there was any doubt.
