Portal (Xbox 360): Portal is the most subversive game ever
WOuldn't the Companion Cube more symbolize how a man comes to have no depth outside of being friends with the woman, and she uses him to reach goals that she would have no way of reaching without his help, and is then encouraged by another female (representing the feminist movement) to destroy him, despite how much she relied on him before and the fact that he's done nothing to her?

In all seriousness though, i think this is a good article. Normally this would fall under over-analyzation, but in the end I think Portal is a very strange game, and analyzing it is a good thing.
