There's a hole in the sky...through which things can fly

While not exactly new news, there is a very interesting new game on the horizon, called Portal. Using the Half Life 2 engine, the game is a 'first person puzzler" in which you shoot dimensional portals in order to move objects around and overcome obstacles. You first shoot an exit portal and then the entry portal…once you or an object goes through the entry portal, it comes out the exit portal. For example, if you shot an exit portal in the roof and then an entry portal in the floor, when you entered, you would exit by falling from a hole in the ceiling above you…A pretty simple concept but it looks like it has some very interesting game play. I’ve given up on Windoze now, so I’ll be looking forward to seeing this when its bundled with Xbox360 version of Half-Life 2 Episode 1+2 sometime around Q1 2007 or so. The video below show it in action and also has a very amusing style as well.
