Gabe Newell and Valve surprised E3-goers when they announced that Portal 2 would be going to the PlayStation 3, but Newell and co. say they aren't done yet, not by a long shot.

In an interview with CVG, Newell proclaims: "We have three pretty big surprises in the next 12 months at least."

"I can guarantee you people are going to be surprised at stuff we do. That isn't going to stop any time soon. I'm just laughing because...people will be shocked again."

What could these be? Newell, of course, isn't saying. Fans have been waiting for Half-Life 2: Episode 3 for a while now, but earlier this year we heard a rumor that for the next Half-Life the company might skip Episode 3 altogether and go right to Half-Life 3.

Anybody have any guesses of their own?
