Portal 2 images/spoilers

The ARG seems to be a bit of a dud unless there's a true surprise waiting, but the game's tremendous. It has a strong feel of Bioshock, if Bioshock had a sense of humor (I hope someone puts together a video highlighting the dialog). Here's a few signs and other moments from Portal 2.


Safety first.


Test warning.


Repulsion gel.


Press to open.


In case of implosion, look directly at implosion. (Because implosions are awesome.)


GLaDOS emergency shutdown and cake dispensary.



Potatoes actually play a fairly large role in the game. Is it too late to make my son's science project a potato battery?

*Portal 2 is $35 at Amazon.
