    Anybody picked it up yet? If so, thoughts?

    I was late to the party and finally played the original a couple weeks ago (bought it offa' Steam for 10 bucks). I now know what all the hype was about, and'm pretty psyched about the sequel.

    I'm actually debating that, too. I've only played on PC and I'm wondering how hard it'd be to re-learn rapidly opening those portals in mid-air with a joystick. It seems like it's a lot easier with the mouse.

    The developers themselves have said specifically, on several occasions, that the PS3 version is the most complete version available. Seems a pretty easy decision.

    From what I've read, IF it is a console port, its been ported perfectly to the PC.

    I'll find out soon enough, letting my brother play it on the PS3 while I download it from Steam.

    Also, there is an easter-egg concerning J.J. Abrams new movie "Super 8"

    Hidden away in the Extras section of the Portal 2 main menu, there’s a teaser for Super 8. It’s not a typical movie teaser, though, it’s a short level created entirely in the Source engine. It’s only a couple of minutes long. If you don’t have Portal 2 go here to check out the video: http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/04/19/po...-teaser-level/

    I got stuck early on in Portal and just went back to playing HL2 (Orange Box owner). Some incredibly far expanse I couldn't get across.

    You have behooved yourself immensely, IMO. Portal was/is awesome. The Portal mechanic was revolutionary, I could only imagine the possibilities in an open-world setting (not that Portal 2 is, but just thinking out loud).

    Portal is one of the most creative games I have ever seen; Valve is such an awesome developer.

    Won't have time to play the sequel until after this semester is over, but I'm definitely looking forward to it. The first Portal is one of few games that I can think of that is incredibly innovative without sacrificing fun/playability.

    Played a few level so far. The "Stephen Merchant" post in this thread didn't make any sense to me until now. Big fan of the Ricky Gervais Show, so, of course, I was very pleasantly surprised.

    I do miss the old Portal voice, though.
