"It appears Valve has begun another ARG (Alternate Reality Game) similar to the one that led up to the release of the original Portal game. A recent Portal update unlocked a new achievement which has uncovered various hidden images and sounds containing references to the Portal and Half-Life universe. Many believe this to be part of the run-up to the announcement of Portal 2 and/or the next installment of the Half-Life series. A thread on the Steam forums has already reached over 1 million views as people piece together the information. Another thread summarizes the information found so far. Based on clues from the ARG, some are speculating an announcement at the 2010 Game Developers Conference where Valve's co-founder Gabe Newell is to receive this year's Pioneer Award."

I do hope they 'announce' HL2E3 sometime, that would be cool. I should replay myself some Half Life 2.

This makes me want to replay Half-Life and the Orange Box in its entirety (excluding TF2).

I would really like to see another installment of the Portal series. Even if the game strays away from the "portal" idea, any game with all the physics and logic puzzles seen in Portal would be awesome! I have always been attracted to games with puzzles layered on top of a great purpose or story (i.e. Zelda: Ocarina of Time!). Along with Portal, I would like to add, the entire Orange Box was epic...

Always gaming,

From what I'm gathering from the comments, if you get the new "radio achievement", you get a different ending to Portal.... o.0

That's pretty funny, because Marcel and I are making a Portal rip-off at work.

If anyone picks up the April 2010 Issue 204 of Game Informer, there is a whole 12 page spread talking about Portal 2! Everyone should check it out!
