Portal 2 In Motion

‘Portal 2′s’ New DLC Makes My Brain Hurt

Everyone pay very close attention to the trailer past the break. I look at it as a huge hint towards making your way through the DLC. The new DLC is known as ‘In Motion’. In Motion however is a Playstation 3, Playstation Move exclusive. Yes you heard right. It was designed specifically for the Playstation Move. And it looks damn complicated. You’ll be able to portal surf, scale objects, among many other new crazy tricks. Sixense Studios who are behind the creation of In Motion are also working on making the entire game Playstation Move compatible. Once the DLC is released it will run you $9.99. Check out the trailer past the break.

Incredible Portal Fan Film

We just saw the live action MASS EFFECT TRAILER. It’s awesome. The video below is a “fan” film made by director Dan Trachtenberg. Podcast fans might know him from The Totally Rad Show podcast. It came out back in August, but I just saw it for the 1st time and thought I’d share it with you guys. Another great example that shows us good video game movies are possible.

Valve Creates Interactive ‘Super 8′ Trailer As ‘Portal 2′ Extra

With legions of fans waiting to jump back into Chell’s spring heels and pick up an Aperture portal gun, Valve has delivered the goods once again with Portal 2, giving players the level design, puzzles and top-notch script they craved. But Valve went one step further, delivering an interactive trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 as an extra on the PC version. I couldn’t find it on my PS3 copy (… yet) so I’m not sure if it’s packed in with console ports or not (the PS3 version comes with a code for a PC/MAC download of the game through Steam for “cloud” integration for save files, so there’s that). The short “game” places you on a train as a passenger and allows you to witness the crash from the theatrical trailer. Kotaku posted a play-through with a commentary which you can check out beyond the break.
