Portal 2 Gets Release Date
AndrewGOO9 writes "After what has seemed like an eternity since Valve initially announced a sequel to their lauded puzzle title Portal, a release date has finally been attached to the game. Originally slated to be released before the end of the year in time for the holidays, Valve instead opted to delay the game, citing reasons such as, 'making games is hard' as well as continuing their tradition of releasing games when they're finished as opposed to rushing them out the door. Either way, mark your calendars for February 9th, 2011, and in the meantime, brush up on thinking with portals."
There's some new gameplay footage available, and Valve announced that Stephen Merchant will be lending his voice to the game.
The Release Date is a Lie! (I just had to ;)
People will want this game so bad that once it finally comes out, it will be a very-hyped event, drawing more people to buy the game.
That said, it's good to see that they are taking the time to make a worthy successor.
While you wait, please enjoy generous refreshments of candy and disappointment. Just kidding. The candy is also disappointment.
/* I don't think Portal 2 will be considered a disappointment. I just think that's something GLaDOS would say. I also totally stole it from a site's 404 page ages ago but I can't remember from where. */
