Razer Hydra Bundles Portal 2 for Motion Controls

Portal 2 is the sweetness that anyone, and everyone, hoped for. We don't recommend that you put off playing it for a split second, but if you must, then maybe it'll be worth going full motion control.

"The Razer Hydra is a significant step forward for the PC gaming industry because it not only affords an almost-physical experience for gamers, but also presents developers an opportunity to innovate and significantly push the boundaries on new forms of gameplay and entertainment," said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve.

"We are excited to finally bring full motion control to the PC," said Min-Liang Tan, CEO and Creative Director, Razer. "Gamers will be blown away by the pinpoint tracking precision that mirrors every move in-game. They'll also enjoy the exclusive new Portal 2 content created specifically for the Razer Hydra, giving them more bang for their buck."

On top of Portal 2, the Razer Hydra is optimized with over 125 popular PC games out of the box, including titles like Left 4 Dead 2 and World of Goo, and there is the future possibility for more downloadable game configurations and the ability to self-configure motion mapping to your specifications. Check out the full list of games at Joystiq.

Razer Hydra and Portal 2 bundle will be priced at US$139.99 / EU€139.99

Pre-orders start May 2011, with shipping starting June 2011.
