Portal 2 Delayed Till 2011

Sad news today out of Aperture Science Laboratories - errr - out of Valve.  If you were hoping to get your blue and orange portals on this fall with a friend in Portal 2, you're going to have to wait a while longer.  Why?  Well, it's because making games is hard. 

Representatives from both companies acknowledged that public safety concerns factored into the decision. They went on to say that even though Portal 2 will arrive slightly later than planned, all life on earth won't instantaneously stop as every molecule in your body explodes at the speed of light, which is what would happen should a rip ever appear in the fabric of Valve Time.

"Also, the game will be even better," they added, missing an historic opportunity to create the first product delay press release to mention that a product is being delayed to make it worse.

Valve pointed out that despite the original game missing it's ship date - it went on to win over 30 awards.  We still hope to get some hands on time with Portal 2 at E3 next week.
