Portal is a game that is part of "The Orange Box", a compilation of the Half-Life games and the new Team Fortress 2. To be honest, Portal was the game I was looking out for the most.
The whole concept of Portal is pretty simple. The player needs to get across a couple of levels in a research facility of some sort. To get across these stages the player uses the Portal-gun, a gun that let's you create a blue and orange portal. These are connected to each other and help you get to the end of the level. Sounds simple right.
During your little adventure you need to think of new ways to use your little gun. If it's just to create a portal from one side to another or even making a loop to propel you over a wall. The puzzles are just absolutely briljant. The Half Life 2 engine really does this game justice.
The star of this game isn't the gameplay. No, it's GLaDOS, a computer AI that monitors and directs the player. I just love the way they designed her. GLaDOS appairs to be a friendly AI, but during the course of the game some hints prove otherwise. The oneliners she says during the game are just pure gold and she has some sort of obsession with cake XD
Portal is a pretty short game to be honest but that doesn't take away the fun. It's a classic and just go play this game
