Unlike fellow Summer of Arcade title From Dust (http://www.1up.com/games/pc/from-dust/), Bastion (http://www.1up.com/games/pc/bastion/)'s port to PC is considered to be extremely good. It looks great, uses Steamworks, has customizable controls, and, perhaps most importantly, gamers weren't misled by its publisher regarding the form of DRM it uses, as was the case (http://www.1up.com/news/pc-gamers-angered-from-dust-drm-shoddy-port) with Ubisoft and From Dust.
That is all you can really hope for as a PC gamer when seeing a game brought from consoles to PC. But Supergiant Games took things a step further by working with Valve to include a surprise quest featuring the turrets from the Portal (http://www.1up.com/games/pc/portal-2/) series.
There is a Secret Skill that can be accessed in the game on Steam known as the Gel Cannister. As demonstrated in the video above, using it opens up a portal that pops up a Portal turret that destroys everything in range. You can later see the turret at the Bastion itself where it says a number of things like, "I want to go home," "I see a thing," and "Location unknown."
