Aperture Science’s One Friendly Face — Er, Ball


I hate when companies release the same footage over and over again, just with new bits tacked on, but in the case of Portal 2, I’ll forgive Valve because every second of Portal 2 is a delight. In this semi-new clip — which is to say the old E3 clip with some extra footage leading up to it — we meet Wheatley, who appears to be your Companion, er, Sphere for the game. Some folks may not like the idea of having to listen to a sidekick during the your teleporting adventures, but I’m game for anything that allows the Portal 2 guys to do more writing. Hell, Wheatley’s annoyance with the turrets has already justified the entire character for me. “Don’t make eye contact.” Yeah, I’ve got a few ex’s like that…
