Just finished Portal 2.
Nice game, well polished, good pacing and story unfolding, balanced puzzles, awesome and hilarous voice acting, much longer than Portal.
On the other hand, it's the same gameplay and the wow factor was much more diluted; I wouldn't be interested in a Portal 3. Graphics...
The indie developers at Frictional Games talk about the sales of beautiful Amnesia. I suggest you to read the sad part about piracy. It's a nice read on how story based single player indie games struggle to stay alive.
One Month after Amnesia's release
From Egosoft forums:
I don't care for achievements, but being able to register my retail copy with Steam is a nice touch. Once again, the guys at Egosoft show they care.
So it seems that Command & Conquer 4, too, requires a permanent internet connection to play, and savegames are stored on EA servers. This kind of DRM is spreading.
C&C4 is EA, and EA is publishing a lot of good PC games. I'm worried.
First teaser for the new game from Frictional. Now we can forget about that Alan something...

EDIT: estimated release date August 2010
Comments? The graphics on Gamebryo engine look terrific. What about the gameplay? I don't like too much action in RPGs, and I think this is the case with Draconis 2.
