Valve confirms much rumors that the sequel to the critics' surprise favorite of The Orange Box will be shown at this year's E3. They will be hosting a press event at the Regal Theater in the LA Live Event Center on the night of June the 14th. Only those with a press card will be allowed to enter and see the first details of Portal 2. It is unclear what these are, but as nothing has been shown yet, I'm sure anything will be welcome.

As May 3rd gets closer and closer and with that, the Halo Reach beta, Bungie continues to tease us by throwing us whatever scraps of Reach info they want at us. They've recently revealed the four maps that the Halo Reach beta will play host to, which is a welcome move up from Halo 3's solitary beta map, and I for one, am psyched.
