Portal was one of the best puzzle games in 2009. Possibly the perfect mix of game for the acerage geek. Puzzle action and humour, add a dash of geek referance and geek nostalgia and there you have it. It looks like the developers are taking the sequel to a whole new level.

Just have a look you will be amazed on how valve have put this teaser together.

Pushing music to the speed of geek, ArcAttack is using Tesla Coils to produce the Doctor Who Theme. If that’s not a geek wet dream I don’t know what is. Of course a few traditional instruments are needed, and obviously a guy dressed in a faraday suit for all those moments of visual geekotica.

It was really the first decent Sci-Fi third person RPG/FPS game ever made, and with games that revolutionise both the nature of those two genre’s, usually you’ll either find a very awesome game. Or you’ll find a game that could have been awesome but is let down by some issues with execution. ME was sadly in the second category.
