Portal Prequel coming soon...
...and it's made with PEOPLE!
via Rock, Paper, Shotgun, news of an 'official prequel' for Portal.And there's people in it, which is a little strange, till you get the back story:
Its story revolves around the pre-GlaDOS epoch, even before she was plugged in. At this time, test subjects were monitored by real Aperture Science employees, whose work was tedious, lengthy and repetitive. This is why they decided to build a great artificial intelligence that could both replace them in these difficult tasks, and also take responsibility for many other tasks within the complex and compete with Black Mesa’s superiority. All employees of the Aperture Science complex are now eagerly awaiting GlaDOS. Maybe even a little too eagerly, as the upcoming events will tell… This game is totally free and set to be released somewhere around the end of the month. It offers a bit more gameplay hours than the original Portal, with 8 chapters, 48 challenges, 6 advanced maps, a brand new storyline and more than 400 lines of speech with english and french subtitles.

Hmmm... just to be clear, the game is an *unofficial* prequel. The video is, however, the *official* trailer for said unofficial prequel :)
That said, it still looks quite cool and I'll definitely have to re-install Portal to have a go at it.
