The Testing Continues With Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative

Aperture Tag: The Paint Testing Initiative pulls players back into the lab.

For me and many other the worst thing about Portal 2 was that it ended. The follow-up DLC did little to feed fans who wanted more Portal 2, but now a community-made mod is looking to do just that. Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative replaces players portal guns with paint guns, where they will use the various gels of Portal 2 to solve puzzles. 27 new puzzles to be exact, as Aperture Tag has a full campaign with original voice acting and music.

Aperture Tag is available on Steam for $6.99 right now, and as would be expected, Portal 2 is required to play. The screenshots and trailer look promising, so here’s to hoping that this gives us Portal fans what we need.
