 Rating: - Nearly genius.Every now and then a game comes along that requires serious attention, simply because it is pure genius. Usually such games are mind-boggingly simple, and feature an idea so obvious that it makes other developers slap themselves in the face in disbelief that they didn't think of it. Portal is the latest such game to follow in this tradition. Portal follows the adventures of a young lady named Chell, who, for reasons never explained, has been held in stasis for an unspecificed amount of time at an Aperture Science Enrichment Facility, waiting to undergo testing and training on the Handheld Portal Device 04 (aka, 'the portal gun'). Chell doesn't encounter any other people, but is guided through the testing facility by GLaDOS (Genetic ... Read More: Rating: - Did you ever wonder if the cake was a lie?This is the game that pretty much started the internet meme "The cake is a lie". It's a mix between a puzzle and a darkly twisted stand up comedy act, and more than half of the drive to play this was to hear the next comment on the running commentary by GLaDOS (that's the voice you'll hear as your constant companion through the levels and beyond). Like most of the truly good ideas, the concept is simple.. It leaves you thinking both "Why did I never think of that".. And even more "That was fun, interesting and hilarious..". I made the mistake of thinking that this game was about the twitch reactions in some places.. But found to my delight I was entirely wrong. You can solve some things with good reactions and orientation, but ... Read More: Rating: - Awsome GameJust started playing Portal and am still doing the tutorial for the game. But even so this game is fricken awsome. This has got to be one of the best games i have played for a long time. It manages to suck you into the gameplay even though i am still in the turtorial. The half life people or who ever made it have really come up with an ingenius new way of playing a game that i have never come across before. I thoughrougly recomend this game to anybody. Rating:  - Good Game, but way too shortWhen I saw this game in the shop, I had already heard of it and therefore decided to buy it. Put it into my PC - first disappointment. Even though it doesn't need it during the game (it's a one-player game), the installer requires a working internet connection - which I didn't have on that PC. Even though I eventually worked around that, I still needed to be connected to the internet every time I wanted to start it (damn Steam!). Once these problems were solved, I could start. The game gives a nice introduction and has an interesting storyline - you seem to be a female android (or clone or something like that) and are running through a test program. The computer voice guiding you gets more and more weird as you progress, ... Read More: Rating: - PortalAwesome puzzle game using the H-L2 engine. It involves creating an "open" portal with one button, and an "exit" portal with another - use it to figure out you way around obstacles and enemies. Sounds very simple; in reality, it's an intricately desiged, incredibly-challenging game that fails only because it's too short. There is a very loose story and a boss battle of sorts at the end that really pushes this game from four stars to five. Awesome ending credits, with brilliant music throughout. Definately not one to miss. |
