Oct 9, 2007 You're probably here to read about Portal, Valve's first-person puzzle game about opening rifts in space to cross uncrossable obstacle courses. It's designed around one simple but mind-expanding idea: you can shoot a hole in any wall, and then another one somewhere else, and if you walk into one you'll come out of the other. Fire them side by side and you'll walk straight back into the room you just left. Fire them on the floor and ceiling and you'll fall through the same room at ...
Portal - hands-on
The impossible is very, very hard
May 18, 2007
Portal is a comedy puzzle game. A pretty black comedy, granted, but firmly a comedy. Most of the jokes revolve around you being lied to, killed, or thirsty to the point of delirium, but that wont stop you chuckling at least once per puzzle. In fact, thats usually the reason for it. The puzzle part youre hopefully familiar with from the trailer better yet, the 2005 prototype Narbacular Drop. Youve got a gun that opens rifts in any wall you shoot it at, and once youve opened two, you can walk ...   » Read Full Portal preview

Wed like to suggest that with every passing month we get closer to playing the next chapter in one of the best FPS of all time, but like some sort of cruel tease with a delicious chocolate bar on the end of a piece of string, Valve keeps moving the release date for the re-energized Half-Life 2 further and further away, leaving us scampering about like frothing fools. However, despite the slip from last autumn to this spring to this autumn, our over-eager ears are kept pricked up, and theres the ...   » Read Full Portal preview

We wrap our brain around this mind bending first-person puzzler
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

Fun and interesting game. I would definitely play this game again and again. The little song at the end of the game is catchy, and the turrets made me laugh when they talked to you/the main character.
