Portal 2 is here and it outshines its predecessor in every way. The 2007 surprise blockbuster was only three hours long and came packaged with several other games in the Orange Box. The astonishingly well written and inventive puzzler generated memes for months to come and is still quoted today. “The cake is a lie” and Jonathan Coulton’s ending credits song Still Alive are plastered on t-shirts and are available in the Rock Band store. How could such a successful independent game get a sequel that would do any justice to the first game? Valve found a way.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Glad you gave it a perfect score. Theres been a lot of them lately ;P
I adore Portal 2, completely deserves the 5/5.
Am I aloud to review a review?
Fuck it. I'm doing it anyway.
I give this a review a 5/5.
I never got to play the first Portal game back in the day. But I rented Portal 2 on PS3 a couple days ago, and I fell in love with it quickly, after trying to figure out what the hell I was supposed to do. haha It took me about 5 minutes to get used to going in the blue portal and out the orange one.
Awesome game and very refreshing to play among all these shooters nowadays. Thank you Valve and Gabe Newell for releasing it on PS3, especially with Steam support. Very classy, you guys are.
