The first of a three part trilogy, Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty follows the Terrans as they, I don’t know, murder Protoss and Zerg forces or something. I could honestly give a rip about the plot – Jim Raynor, Sarah Kerrigan, Zeratul…just give me some siege tanks and I’ll be fine.

The game’s been in beta for a few months now, and just opened its beta to Mac, which is a wonderful way to whittle down my productivity even further. The original Starcraft sold 11 million copies, so we’ll see how far this new game goes.

I’ve been watching the Starcraft II battle reports for a few months now, and this really does like the perfect game. July 27th can’t arrive fast enough!

As if the headline and magazine cover didn’t make this perfectly clear, Valve has announced that Portal 2 is heading for gamers this holiday season. To prepare the way for the release, several updates to Portal have been pushed through, including a new achievement, mysterious sound files, and the addition of a new ending, which is below:

What’s that robot saying at the end? Apparently, “Thank for you assuming the party escort submission position,” which is a reference to an earlier level (what it means still escapes me, as does a lot of what GLaDOS says).

Additionally, heading to the Aperture Science website plays an animated gif with a christmas-themed version of “Still Alive,” including a weighted companion cube in a Santa hat. It’s adorable.
