The game includes single player and a new multiplayer cooperative mode that requires two players to work together in unique ways. </p> <p>Valve describes Portal 2 as follows:</p> <blockquote><p>Portal 2 draws from the award-winning formula of innovative gameplay, story, and music that earned the original Portal over 70 industry accolades and created a cult following.</p> <p>The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game.</p></blockquote> <p>Portal 2 costs $49.99 and <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/620/">can be downloaded through Steam</a>, Valves digital distribution client.</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Portal 2 Mac System Requirements</h2> <p>The better your computer, the better the game will run. Here are the minimum specs:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/mac-os-x/">Mac OS X</a> 10.6.7 or higher</li> <li>Intel Core Duo 2GHz or better</li> <li>2GB of RAM or greater</li> <li>7.6GB of available disk space</li> <li>ATI Radeon 2400 / NVIDIA 8600M / Intel HD 3000 – or higher</li> </ul> <p>System requirements are great and all, but if you’re like me you want to see just how well Portal 2 runs on a Mac. Check out the video below which shows a MacBook Pro 15″ Core i7 running the game in Mac OS X 10.6.7 on highest settings, it looks amazing and sustains 60 FPS: <span id="more-15135"></span> <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="610" height="373" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WJ6zvhlse5o?rel=0&hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>The other cool thing about the Portal 2 announcement is that the Mac version was released alongside its Windows, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 brothers, suggesting the Mac platform is being taken more and more seriously by <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/games/">game</a> developers.</p> <p>(Above gameplay video found via MacRumors)</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VG7n7HgHMhV-nspeYxc750NlFSM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VG7n7HgHMhV-nspeYxc750NlFSM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VG7n7HgHMhV-nspeYxc750NlFSM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VG7n7HgHMhV-nspeYxc750NlFSM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=YUeUU3WprB4:Pr_gsrybtvY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=YUeUU3WprB4:Pr_gsrybtvY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=YUeUU3WprB4:Pr_gsrybtvY:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=YUeUU3WprB4:Pr_gsrybtvY:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=YUeUU3WprB4:Pr_gsrybtvY:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=YUeUU3WprB4:Pr_gsrybtvY:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=YUeUU3WprB4:Pr_gsrybtvY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/YUeUU3WprB4" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
