Portal

Aperture Science has an opening

Sadly, Portal is as short as it is sweet. It took us a little under two and a half hours. That's long enough for the story it tells, and it tells it well, but it's so damnably good that the craving sets in as soon as the satisfaction fades.

Depending on gamer demand, Valve say they'll opt next for a straight sequel, a closer tie-in to the Half-Life games or some form of multiplayer. We just want more GLaDOS. Her lilting, darkly comic words of lethally unhelpful advice deserve a place in the annals of scary robo-speak, right beside "I can't do that, Dave" and "L-look at you, hacker."

"If you begin to feel light-headed from thirst," GLaDOS chirps, "feel free to pass out."

You'll love
  • Amazing puzzles/gameplay

  • Beautifully trippy
You'll hate
  • Really really short
  • May make you feel dumb
  • Waiting for Portal 2
