Portal 2 – Panels Advertisement Trailer
Valve seem to be experts in getting people excited for their games, granted it’s usually with good cause but it’s still a talent that various other games companies would pray to several different gods to get their hands on.
This time their marketing strategy is a series of videos showing some of the cool new features that will be coming with Portal 2. Valve, in partnership with Aperture Science dba Aperture Laboratories, announced today the first of four “investment opportunity” videos leading up to the April 19th release of Aperture’s documentary video game Portal 2.
The first video, titled “Panels”, showcases one of the many lucrative products in development at the applied sciences company. Narrated by Aperture CEO and founder Cave Johnson, it offers a fascinating glimpse at the future of test environment construction.
“Portal 2 is the best documentary-style investment opportunity game we’ve ever contributed to,” said Gabe Newell, President of Valve, “and we’re confident that savvy investors will immediately see the value in these product demonstration videos.”
Portal 2 is due to ship the week of April 19th 2011 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
