Valve's well-received puzzler is being expanded on next week -- for free!
Today, Valve announced that Portal 2 will be receiving DLC, titled Peer Review. Set to release on October 4 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Mac, the extra content will be completely free.
This game was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard not to overstate my satisfaction.
Back nearly four years ago, if you had asked me about Portal, I would have merely shrugged. It wasn’t that the game concept didn’t seem interesting, it was really the fact that I had two generations worth of games to catch up on and, more importantly, it was on the computer.
Can the sequel possibly live up to the original?
As most gamers know first-hand at this point, Portal was an absolutely fantastic game. It combined a great new mechanic with innovative puzzles, a strong story, charm and an extremely strong main character. The magic of Portal didn't lie in just one of the elements, each and every part of the game played into why it was so enjoyable. This, in essence, is why I am worried about Portal 2.
