Portal

Half Life 2 Episode 2 has a new portal weapon, and ValVe look like they are also releasing what looks to be a free game attached to it called Portal. If you have played Prey than you know how cool portals can be, but earlier this week I had heard that ValVe was demoing something that was way cooler and Here it is.

This new weapon is way cool and the game attached to it look like a lot of fun.

Prey 360 Vs Prey PC

I really loved the Prey demo on the PC and 360. And because the game runs better and looks better on the 360 I was going to get it for the 360, but then I seen the £39.99 price tag for the 360 version and the £24.99 (38% cheaper) price tag for the PC version. And because I refuse to buy any-game over £30 unless it is either excellent or the price can't be avoided, I will now be pre-ordering the PC version. If it was £29.99 fine I would have gone with the 360 version, but I play a lot of games, I don't have a job, I just bought a 360 this year and I am not made of money!

Incidentally the physics on the 360 demo suck. It sounds odd and it is, but it's true.

Prey Demo

Just wanted to spend a moment to mention the Prey Demo. Which is awesome. If you have a fairly new graphics card you should give it a go. The 360 demo should be out soon and depending on how that plays I might forgo the jittery mess which is playing it on my PC and get it for the 360.

I remember playing a multiplayer map of Unreal that had portals like Prey does and Serious Sam allowed you to run up walls, but for a game to take both of those fairly old concepts, realise their potential and take it as far as Prey does is amazing. You do have to play it to see what I mean. And as far as I can tell the only people not liking the demo are the ones who can't run it, but that's understandable.
