Super 8 gets interactive inside Portal 2

Valve’s Portal 2 just came out this past Tuesday, and it’s already being touted as the year’s best game. In an interesting move, Paramount turned to the game’s developers to insert this interactive trailer for the upcoming sci-fi flick Super 8. Gamers can move around the universe built by J.J. Abrams by accessing “Super 8” inside Portal‘s main menu under Extras. Lazy? You can watch it unfold in the video above. It’s nothing particularly exciting, but it’s neat to see the train wreck we’ve come to know and question come alive in video game form.
