E3: Portal dev walkthrough (Stephen Hawking FTW)

Now, personally, I’m not much of an FPS fan. This title’s got my interests quite piqued though: Portal from Valve Corporation, set to be released on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

While we’ve heard all about it since time immemorial, a lot of you (myself included) might still be a bit confused about how the game actually goes. For one, I was never really able to grasp the whole concept of how an “FPS-puzzler involving portals and warping space” would play like.

So, if you’ve got the same sentiments, feast your eyes on this E3 developer walkthrough. Portal, set in the Half-Life universe, will have you running through rooms (literally) with the help of a gun which can create portals. Kinda trippy too if you see the gameplay footage as seen below. You’ll probably be using more of your brains and spatial-relations than FPS skills. Here’s a game which will probably make Stephen Hawking proud.

Portal is to be released on October 9 as part of the Half-Life 2 bundle called “The Orange Box,” which includes Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One and Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.
