The lastest news on steam is that Rockstar is coming to it, they provide a link to the “Rockstar Collection” including all the GTA games, but so far it leads no where. It’s been like that a few days. Weird to have an announcement then not actually provide the games. Maybe they just aren’t available to Australian users, some other games have been announced like that, but lead to dead ends for me. It’s a pity they don’t have a “not available in your region” page or something. The way I see it they shouldn’t even show up in the news if it’s irrelevant to me. Can anyone see the GTA games?

I think Portal 2 would have some really high expectations to fill. It might even be better if they give it a different title, and just set it around Aperture Science, or Chell.
*spoilers for Portal follow*
It would be lovely to know more about Chell, but what really makes Portal is GlaDOS. Personally I’d really like to find out more about when GlaDOS first flooded the enrichment centre with toxic case. The time when the red phone’s cord was cut (the commentary says the phone was to be used if GlaDOS became too aware, in which case she’d be shut off or something).
Something that would be cool, is finding out more about Aperture Science’s relationship to Black Mesa. I’d like to play out some sort of conflict between them, a lovely twist would be having GlaDOS helping you throughout, yet somehow you realise at the end that you’ve provided her with the trigger for her awareness and subsequent madness.
If aperturescience.com is to be taken as canon Aperture Science started off making shower curtains for the military (not sure which military), then the man in charge left 3 directives for the future of the company. The first 2 were absurd nutty things, the 3rd was to make a bio artificial intelligence lifeform operating system or something, which was really an aside as he hadn’t put much thought into it. Obviously the 3rd ended up being GlaDOS.
No matter what Valve does, Portal will be a hard act to follow.
They absolutely much keep the same voice actress for GlaDOS, she’s wonderful.
Just another 3-4 hours puzzle game would be fabulous too though.
