Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Left 4 Dead, Counter-Strike and Half-Life) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced Portal 2 for shipment this coming holiday season.

Portal 2 is the sequel to 2007's Portal, which won 70 industry achievement awards.

Don't forget to mention the co-op mode!

Features single and multiplayer co-op modes. The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game. The game's two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals. Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively.

Thank god they are dynamic. I've been getting tired of static characters.

This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals.

EVERYthing? Absolutely EVERYthing? Oh man, portals will never be the same after this!

Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively.

Telepathy, huh. Valve sure is getting ambitious these days.

The only reason you are not banned is because you were nice enough to help me with that copy of Windows I requested a while back.

So much rendering effort for such terrible mecha designs. What is this little teaser supposed to do? Make us realize how bad the artists working on this game are?

While the blue one is at least passable, the orange one on the right is just awful. Hurts just to look at that thing.
