Rise of the Phoenix (Online Studios)?

Valve Letting Old Memes be Old Memes
In a talk with Gamasutra, Portal 2 Erik Wolpaw stated that the upcoming sequel will be cakeless. He, like yours truly, is sick of the old “the cake is a lie” meme and wants the sequel to tread new ground in story and gameplay elements. But fear not, Portal fans, both the cubes and GLaDOS […]
