Valve's Portal 2 out February 9th, Stephen Merchant lends voice

The return of GLaDOS with Valve's Portal 2 has been given a date and that's February 9th, 2011. It's not just coming to Xbox 360 and PC but PS3.

Team Valve has even managed to entice The Office actor and co-writer Stephen Merchant to put his British vocals to 'buddy sphere' Wheatley.

Back at this year's E3 it was revealed that Portal 2 was getting delayed into 2011 through an 'Aperture Science' email. Now we know exactly when to expect the next dose of GLaDOS and its crazy idea of 'being friends' for the sake of science. Cake, anyone?

I liked portal a big deal, too and cant wait for the second part. My only wish would be for a longer campaign :)

Yeah I hope that we will be given a longer campaign. I'm not worried about the gameplay, I'm sure it will be excellent, just like the first Portal. One of the most innovative games in this decade, that's for sure ;)

Portal one was awesome , i saw my brother Complete while i was giving advice , but i never finished the first one .

"Drags Ridgy in a Bunker Waiting to get attacked"

but i know the campaign was Short , what i really want to see is more "Past Patient"'s easter eggs . i used to go around with my brother for hours to read all the stuff they wrote on the walls , and i even Decyphered most of it !
but i was allways wondering what the Heart cube had to do with it all .... they all said it spoke , BUT I DIDNT HEAR IT ..... i waited for 15 mins ... nothing happend . no box talking .
but the cake is Not a lie .

Thank God and the moding community for the awesome mods and custom map packs for Portal - I still haven't finished all of them - try impossible, or at least hard. And I do hate when someone gives me tips on how to play, or walktroughs.

Okay lets just say it one more time...Portal, one of the best video games ever.

It does have a great concept of gameplay - even tough the game itself was more like an experiment from Valve. An experiment that turned out to be on of their soon to be franchises. nice.

Yeah, well experiments are what the gaming world desperately needs. There have been plenty games with the same predictable outcomes. Portal surely breaks all those barriers and sets a new boundary for development of computer games. I love when we can see something so refreshing in this sea of bad and under-developed games. Thumbs up for Portal 2!!!

Valve really does know how to make a good game. They did it with H-L, then with Portal and TF2 and finally L4D. They made their first zombie game the best zombie game ever - how good is that :) That is great man.
What I like about Portal 2 are the new gameplay elements - not just running around with the portal gun and pushing big red buttons. :)

Portal 2 has some new and interesting physx engine, it makes the game a lot more interesting and harder.
