Dec 17, 2007

Mar 9, 2007

Even though its built with the Half-Life 2 engine, you won't launch rockets at waves of enemies or find any online death matches in Portal. Although it certainly looks like a first-person shooter and controls like one, Portal is best described as a first-person puzzler. But juicy details regarding this upcoming mystery wrapped in an enigma have been far and few. Luckily, we got to wrap our brains around a level from a demo of the game. While it may not be the "groundbreaking action game that ... » Read Full Portal preview
