Now you're thinking in Portals.

For a game that's essentially "Let's play with the physics engine and see what happens" it's probably one of the cleanest games I've ever seen... and the most quotable.

"The Enrichment Center would like to remind you that Bring-Your-Daughter-To-Work Day is a great time to have her tested."

Every waking moment was as good as the first one, if not way better. Puzzles were thoughtful, none impossibly hard, and I was left with a good feeling after solving each one.

The game dances across a line between ultra-simplistic and impossible, which, if you played the game, is a gap easily minded with portals.

"When I said 'Deadly Neurotoxin', I was using extreme sarcasm quotes."

I've never even heard of Portal 1. That sounds interesting though.

I think he's talking about the first Portal, and that he is saying that every moment of the game is as good or better as the first moment of the game. He is still talking about the same game.

Ahhh. Makes sense, I just didn't read it that way.

You don't know what you have missed. It is probably one of the best games ever made, strictly my opinion though.

Its like a new generation of Super Mario Bros (I'm not talking about actual new SMB. LoL).

Yeah I loved it. My wife even loves it's ending song (she fucking hates videgames) and it plays on her facebook page constantly.

It's you doing puzzles with a promise of cake.

I think Portal was over-rated, really. It was a good game, it just..wasn't, awesome.

it doesn't sound very awesome, but i am not going to judge it based solely on how it sounds. i think i might give it a play, one of these days, if i am bored. i have so many games to play when i get home, though, first i am going to finish the Mass Effect series (though to be honest, i am likely going to tweak out on Fable III until my eyes get red and crusty), and Sims 3 and a plethora of other games i have yet to play, so i doubt i will even get to portal until waaaaaaay later on.

The puzzles are fun but I never got the "TEH EPICS GAME!!" reaction from people.
