Mmmmm Portal, having spent the whole night playing through all of it on Christmas eve on a massive Plasma HD Screen and Surround Sound I wee'd a lot! It has by far the best ending to a game i have ever seen which I'm sure if your a lazy bastard/poor/a massive knobber you can check it on Youtube.

The basics are simple, you are given this gun;



Which has the ability to make portals like these;



The task which you undertake is a simple one; solve the puzzle and get to the exit; but the joy of this gun is always going to be underestimated with english language. Its truly buttfucking awesome smile.gif

Here are a couple of videos to wet your willy

Really enjoyable game - well worth the hours put in. Pretty much shows off the hl2 engine imo.
Enjoyed the humorous touches too, 10/10 as far as puzzle games go.

Some of the advanced puzzles are imposslible.

Random fact: The voice of GLaDOS (Ellen McLain) is also the announcer on Team Fortress 2.

Randomer fact: Her husband voices the Sniper in TF2.

Even randomer fact: Mike Patton also does some voicework in Portal. Apparently he's the 'ANGER SPHERE'.
- SPOILER -
I think that's one of the crazy balls you pick up in the boss fight.

Mike does the voice of the last one which doesn't say anything but just growls.

Random fact: Ellen Mclain does her slightly robotic voice in real life aka just freestyles it, she was trained to talk like that and can also repeat the same phrase intonation perfect!

Random non-voice related Portal fact: The concept of the game was based on 'Narbacular Drop', and Portal was created by students, not Valve, albeit they did contribute something, like their engine.

lolololol
