Ever wonder what The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past would be like if players could use a Portal Gun? If so, Dorkly has put together a nice video showing just what the weapon is capable of. Continue reading to watch.
Volpin Props, also known as Harrison Krix, is back at creating awesome props, and his GLaDOS Potato design is definitely no slouch. According to its creator, this was “done as a small add-on to the third Portal Gun commissioned by the guys at VALVe Software in Seattle; while the additional potato-GLaDOS wasn’t a requested item, the release of Portal 2 prompted [him] to put one together before delivery.” Video after the break.

While not as interactive as this plush turret, the Portal 2: Atlas robot by Technically Magic — “specialists in props and costumes for ads and music videos” — most certainly looks the part. Everything you see was built from scratch, including the body pieces. Click here for the first picture in gallery.

If Portal 2 was released on a vintage video game console, like the Atari 2600, this is how some of the promotional posters might have looked. These were created by Flickr user wd.farmer. Click here for the first picture in gallery.
It was only a matter of time before a fan created a Portal 2 gadget / toy worthy of a commercial release, and these mini, functional personality spheres by Chris Myles definitely hit the spot. Video after the break. Click here for the first picture in gallery.

What do you get when you combine elements of Portal, with Halo: Reach? You get Portal: Reach of course. Not just any mod, Bungie even featured it on their site. A gamer show guys by “x 7revorBlack x crafted an impressive test chamber using nothing but Forge and a heaping helping of brain power.” Continue reading for the video.
Portal fans know Chell as a player-character that “is challenged by an artificial intelligence named GLaDOS (Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System) to complete each puzzle in the Aperture Science Enrichment Center using the portal gun with the promise of receiving cake when all the puzzles are completed.” Click here to see some incredible fan art.
No, this isn’t *another* Portal spoof, but rather a fully-playable Tetris game. Let’s just say that getting past the first level is much harder than it may first look. Continue reading to play the game.
It was bound to happen sooner than later. That’s right, Kinect has been hacked to work with Portal 2, though not perfectly yet. Powered by the FAAST toolkit, Brad Cooley “was able to get a Kinect sensor to track his skeletal body and map the infamous Portal gun to his arm.” Video after the break.
Like most Kinect hacks, the workaround solution is a little laggy and doesn’t run at full speed. Had Valve officially made it, I’m sure the geniuses over there could get the full game running properly.
