Chocolates, flowers, and diamonds are inferior gifts when compared to the kind of companionship offered by Portal-play. That’s what Valve contends with its latest video promotion for Portal 2, which kindly suggests that you pre-order a copy for your significant other. If you find yourself lacking in the significant other department, that’s not a problem. Keep it for yourself. That’s what we’re going to do!


Above: A special announcement about romance safety compliance from Aperture Laboratories


Above: Pre-order fromGameStopto get these exclusive customized skins for co-op bots Atlas and P-body

Portal 2 is scheduled to release in North America on April 18 and in Europe on April 22 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and Mac. Pre-ordering will slash $5 dollars from the price of admission, and if you get it from GameStop, you’ll also receive two custom skins for the game’s co-op bots.
