Portal 2 is coming to the PS3! That big bombshell was announced during Sony’s press conference today and along with that announcement came this new teaser above. That mean robot bitch is still alive and she wants to play again, in the name of science of course.

Portal 2 will be out in 2011 for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac.

Valve has not revealed the price for Half-Life 2 for Mac nor confirmed if Episodes 1 & 2 will also be made available tomorrow. The PC version of HL2 for Steam is currently priced at $20.

It’s not clear whether the other Mr. Mario is playable from the get-go — in the first Super Mario Galaxy, Luigi only became playable after collecting all 120 stars — but he will clearly be a character that players can control. See Mario’s partner in time don an adorable bee suit in the gallery below and check out the new trailer just above.

Sometimes all you need is 74 seconds to convince the world that they’ll want your game, as Sweden’s Southend have just proved with their debut trailer for upcoming Xbox Live Arcade title ilomilo.

Tick the checkboxes: tiny, innocent fantasy world, puzzling gameplay on the order of underappreciated original PlayStation game Kula World/Roll Away, and I’m pretty sure I already want a toy of that floppy-eared flying dog.

Here’s a trailer for Nifflas’ new platformer FiNCK (Fire Nuclear Crocodile Killer), due out this May 12th. The game has been in production for a couple of months now, and will feature a level editor to facilitate the sharing of user-created content.

FiNCK will not be freeware, but according to Nifflas it will be sold at a fairly low price.

After Samus’s armor mysteriously grows out of her glowing heart or something, we’re treated to a nonstop barrage of the fastest action the series has ever seen. In addition to that, the trailer demonstrates the quick transition between third-person and first-person perspective, as well as some 3D movement in the third-person segments. Oh, and Samus faces off against Mother Brain in the end.

Hoping to pile some extra coal into the hype train’s engine, 2K took up the whole first commercial block of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with a 3-minute-15-second launch trailer. It’s a cool clip, but we get the uneasy feeling that the heavy reliance on non-gameplay, first-person action is just a touch misleading. That said, it’s just a couple of inches above this sentence, so you can judge for yourself.

Though all of the characters designed in the video turn out horrifically homely, there certainly seems to be a lot of depth in the customization tools. We just hope there’s an option to shorten our characters’ arms, as all of the soldiers seen in the trailer above probably do a lot of tripping over their own forearms.

The latest Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet trailer might be old news now, as it’s had lots of attention in the last few weeks. I’d like to comment on it anyway, though.

The game looks fantastic, and appears to be an “all-azimuth” shooter. It doesn’t seem to have forced scrolling, and in this sense merges some platforming mechanics in with the shmup stuff. Hope this all works out, it should (at least on paper). There’s also an implied back story (alien explorer, all alone…) that I hope remains a subtle theme rather than something forced upon us through cut scenes. No need to spoil the mythos!

My main concern right now is the platforms the game will release for. It looks like the XBox 360 is the front-runner. That should mean a PC release. After all, a 360 is just a hobbled PC, right? And I already have one of those…

Anyway, this is a highly anticipated release in my household. Can’t wait to play this.
