Dec 17, 2007 [Editor's Note: Some of you may notice that our PS3 and 360 reviews of this game are the same, but the PS3 version has scored lower. This is not a typo.

These faults have earned it a lower score.] You're probably here to read about Portal, Valve's first-person puzzle game about opening rifts in space to cross ...

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
