Here’s a gaming combination made in our geekiest daydreams: our long-time obsession Minecraft injected with elements that make Portal 2 baffling and brilliant: the Portal gun, heel springs, energy pellets and test chambers. The PortalCraft mod is available right now and you can see video of it in action after the break. It’s brilliant…
Yes, yes, Portal 2 is all well and good but imagine if the Portal Gun was plonked into the hands of gaming’s favourite plumber in Super Mario Bros. In the video after the break, the moustachioed hero gets his hands on the Aperture Science weapon to navigate his way through the platform-strewn Mushroom Kingdom. We really want to play that game…
Valve has outed a new Portal 2 trailer video. This one’s in an informercial style and attempts to flog us the Aperture Science turrent.

Portal is easily one of the best iPhone apps for browsing we’ve ever seen and is really built for the touchscreen environment. Definitely a worthy inclusion in our best iPhone apps pantheon and well worth buying. Check out Portal in action after the break…
Left 4 Dead for Mac has been on the cards since Valve unveiled Steam for Mac and pushed Portal and Half Life 2 into the eager hands of Mac gamers.
