Team Fortress 2 has been around for a long long time now, about four to five years.

When Portal was released back in 2007 it was part of the Orange Box package and served as almost a tech demo for this kind of gameplay. Not treated as a traditional FPS the player was given a gun that could open one portal on a wall and another portal anywhere else that would serve as its corresponding tunnel. Vavle has alot to live up to on making the sequel to such a hit and it looks like they've done it again in a much bigger way. Click the link to check out our review.
The world is opening their hearts and wallets to support the Japan relief efforts. The group over Valve and at Mann Co. is also helping out in their own way. The "Humanitarian's Hachimaki" ($7.99), the "Benefactor's Kanmuri" ($19.99) and the most prestigious "Magnanimous Monarch" ($99.99) will be available from now through April 6. Also available will be two limited edition noise makers, as if hearing mini guns and engineer's beeping turrets aren't enough. All DLC proceeds will go to the Japanese Relief Fund (net applicable taxes) and all hats can be equipped by all classes, but can't be used in crafting nor can they be traded. For you tax conscious donations, unfortunately the Mann Co. can not be considered at tax write off.
