In this special “un-smoked on” edition we delve into the new Bioshock 2 teaser trailer making the rounds online, Portal’s trek to Xbox Live, and San Andreas will be an Xbox Original soon for those of you who haven’t picked it up. Shame on you if you haven’t. Really, its been out for a few years now (4!).
Valve gave us the greatest value in gaming with last year’s Orange Box — where the entire Half-Life 2 saga, so far, made an appearance — including the short and sweet Portal. Maybe a little too short as a mod was released today that will let you play through a “prelude” of the cake-filled story.
As the site states, Portal: Prelude is an “unofficial prequel,” and has been nine months in the making. Unfortunately, only PC gamers get to have fun with this fan-made extension to the game and can download it here.
If you are into video games, you more than likely read Edge - the videogames magazine and website. They have just awarded Halo 3 the Edge Award for Innovation at this year’s Edinburg Interactive Festival. This was a surprising choice considering the game was going up against Grand Theft Auto IV, Portal, Rock Band, Super Mario Galaxy and Wii Fit. Although Halo 3 is my favorite game of the ones listed above, I feel like Portal and Rock Band were actually more innovative.
According to the reps at Edge, the game won due to it’s “integration and coherence of Halo 3’s online content”. While I certainly believe that the Halo series has one of the best online setups in console history, it wasn’t a huge improvement over Halo 2. Maybe I say this because I miss Halo 2’s maps…
