Even with all the blockbusters being released this year, Valve's Portal 2 remains in strong contention for game of the year. Today, Valve announced that an upcoming update to the game will give players powerful tools to create, edit, and share their own test chambers.

According to a Valve press release, the add-on is "in development and targeted for release early next year." It will feature what Valve claims is an "easy-to-use in-game map editor." Users can create both single-player and co-op test chambers, then upload them to the Portal 2 community, who will be able to play and vote on them.

Given what users have been able to do with games like LittleBigPlanet, I can't wait to see what kind of diabolical chambers the Portal 2 community comes up with. As for me, I'm barely smart enough to solve Portal chambers, much less create one myself -- but I'm more than happy to benefit from the ingenuity of others.

I haven't seen any articles for this that actually say it's coming to the PS3 and Xbox. I assume that's the case, given the mention of LittleBigPlanet, but could one darn article just say "Coming to PS3 and Xbox!"

If this is an update for all platforms though, this might be enough to get me back on the Portal 2 bandwagon.

I doubt this will be available for 360 and PS3 but Valve did say a while back that we would be able to play whatever is created on Steam
