You Can Now Own Your Very Own Replica Portal Gun

 
Ever since the first 'Portal' game I've always wanted and wondered what it would be like to own my very own Portal gun to help give me easy access to many different rooms and places throughout my life. Now that wait and wish is over thanks to toy manufacturer NECA who is developing a line of licensed Valve products for Half Life, Left 4 Dead 2 and Team Fortress 2.

The Aperture Science Handheld Portal Gun replica is set to go on sale around late/early summer and fo those of you who are still wondering when that is let's just say around May/June of this year. Retail price will set you back $130 and it lights up and has real working FX sounds. For me this is well worth the money and I can't wait to see if I could actually use it to get from upstairs to my kitchen to make late night snacks with ease.

Rumor Mill: Half Life 3 Steam Achievements Leaked?

If you are a true gamer than you already know about Half Life aka the biggest FPS series of all time. The Orange Box which included Half Life 2: Episode 2 was released 4 years ago and there has been nothing regarding Half Life 3 or Half Life 2: Episode 3 since. After the success of Portal 2 some have speculated that Valve doesn't even need Half Life 3 since it can make successful games without the Half Life name.

But after the rumor about Half Life 3 being announced at the VGAs hit people got extremely excited. A reader over at Stickskills.com found possibly the holy grail of Half Life 3 information. He uncovered the Steam achievements for the game.

It was soon discovered that the page where the achievements were located abruptly vanished. And by vanished I mean brought up an error page. There's always the possibility that this is real information but then again, things like these tend to be busted.

Cue the Sad Trombone, Valve Not Showing Any Games at E3

It seemed unlikely that we would hear about a new project from Valve so soon after Portal 2 came out, but it's hard to give up hopes that we may finally get to hear about Half-Life 3. Well Valve crushed the hopes of seeing anything at E3 this year when they announced they're not showing anything.

"We are not showing any titles at this year's show," says Valve.

Now this doesn't completely rule out Valve showing up at one of the big press conferences and surprising everyone. They did the same and showed the Left 4 Dead 2 trailer at the Microsoft's event, and Gabe Newell showed up at Sony's presser last E3 where he promised Portal 2 would be the best console version of Portal 2.

So while its not impossible for them to show up and blow everyones minds, just don't hold your breath.
