Portal 2, Valve’s mind-bending, first person platformer is now unlocked and available on Steam. Of course, if you don’t feel like shelling out $50 for this awesome game, you could wait for it to hit stores later this week where the PC version would set you back by Rs. 699, while the console versions (both Xbox360 and PS3) would cost Rs. 2,499.

Still Alive?

For all those who’re not updated on this game, Portal 2 is the sequel to Valve’s surprise hit Portal that was bundled along The Orange Box. Even though the game’s played from a first person perspective, it’s primarily a puzzle/platformer where players have to navigate tricky environments using the game’s Portal gun. And yes, that is a gun that allows you to create portals.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
