Finally available separately on Xbox Live. This has been my first chance to try it out, and I am suitably impressed. I'm happy to say my brain hasn't atrophied to the point of uselessness yet. Is there anyone else who hasn't played it here?
As a gamer I should be ashamed. Not only have I heard nothing but glowing praise for the game, I have owned it since it came out. I bought the orange box on the day it came out. Unfortunately TF2 has eclipsed all my gaming time since then with only slight relapses back into CoD4.
Shame on me,
Ian
Portal is such a great game. I think it's one of the best games I've ever played. It was far too short though. I want extra levels. I want user made maps.
Also, is it just my imagination or is it possible that Aperture might have been responsible for the deadly female assassin? Those characters may have been cyborgs . . . and there was a cyborg training grounds. Also there's a line about "bring your daughter to work day is the perfect opportunity to get her tested".
Portal is well worth the few hours it takes to get through it if only to experience the interesting twist it takes, and of course, the end credits.
Once you figure out how to do all the rooms, you can probably play through the whole thing in an hour, unless you're one of those insane speed runners.
