Unlike Portal, Portal 2 is a full-fledged, standalone sequel that will feature “new gameplay mechanics, storyline, and some surprising new twists.”

Icicle and Perfect Balance – Super fun Flash games
Dec 16th
Icicle is a beautifully artistic bike riding game. WADS control you, and you’re scored on collecting ice bubbles.
The visuals are quite something in this game, it really tries to get you in a wintery mood. Head on over to newgrounds.com and play it!
In Perfect Balance 2, you rotate shapes and place them in the world, with each level getting progressively harder, and over 100 levels in all! At the end of the level you’ve given an option to place any number of 10 rubies on top of your current setup for a higher score.
The Secret of Monkey Island – The Movie!
Dec 12th
Ahh I wish. Too bad the movie has already been made (3 times) and called Pirates of the Caribbean each time. For those who never played Monkey Island – it came out in 1990, created by Ron Gilbert after having been inspired by riding the Pirates of The Caribbean ride at Disney World.
You can see many Monkey Island themes in the movie (ghost pirates, the style of humor), and themes from the ride in the early games (there is a dog in a jail cell in the second Monkey Island game you use to solve a puzzle, pirate themes, etc etc..)
So yeah! I found this video and I couldn’t wipe the grin off of my face, but if you haven’t played Monkey Island, I doubt you’ll have the same problem. Enjoy!

Borderlands – PC or Xbox 360?
Dec 10th
This is what happens if Call of Duty had sex with Halo, that lovechild later made sweet love to XIII. Okay, now THIS love child had a massive orgy with all of the major consoles, while they were busy fisting Left 4 Dead.
Graphics inspired by XIII + Semi-Halo-like Driving + COD/Halo Shooting + WoW style Quests/Items + Left 4 Dead Multiplayer Teams = This game.
Borderlands is a first-person shooter that includes character-building elements found in role playing games, leading to Gearbox calling the game a “role-playing shooter”. At the start of the game, players select one of four characters, each with a unique special skill and with proficiencies with certain weapons.
I can’t decide if I should get this game for PC or Xbox 360. Which platform will you be getting it for?
Scumm VM – Play your old Lucasarts Classic Games!
Dec 10th
Have some old classic Lucasarts titles sitting around that won’t play on your fancy Windows Vista machine (or even *gasp* Windows 7?!) Well you can Download ScummVM and run them just like you were still running a 486!
If you seem to have misplaced your game disks, there are a few people around the internet who have titles available online such as The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2, LeChuck’s Revenge, and even Loom! You can find all your favorite classics online if you look hard enough, just make sure to virus scan, and know it’s illegal to download them without paying if you do not own the original. lol wut
Steam offers the Original Monkey Island download bundled with their new Special Edition version, which is quite nice. They sell it for $20 and I believe it’s worth every penny, being able to re-play one of my favorite classic games with a fresh feel.
Telltale Games even just released the final of 5 chapters of “Tales of Monkey Island,” the fifth installment into the game series, which Ron Gilbert (creator of Monkey Island and other Lucasarts Classics) himself even worked on! He has not worked on a Monkey Island game since LeChuck’s Revenge in 1992.
