Done the main missions after EP2 last night, lots of fun :)

Few moments in the final sequence of the game where i found myself stuck for a few minutes becuase i couldn't quite see the texture difference on a tiny sliver of wall 100 mtrs away.


Gonna do bonus tonight :)

Finished it last night, loved every bit of it, tits a very clever game espically the Glados AI.

The song is so good, went into my flatmates room humming it lol.

I love this song.
"There are experiments to be done, and research to be done, on the people who are still alive" :D
Its my new song of the month!

I like the bit at the start where they go on about being alive while we die.

As far as bygames go, Portal rocks. Yeah it's self indulgent - Valve saying "we've made something original and gonna make damned sure everyone knows about it".
And why not - original content is rare these days :/

Completed it last night, very perplexing in places, once you get the hang of it (thinking with portals!) it's bloody good fun. I can only imagine this may serve as a forerunner to including this "gun" with ep3 or similar.

Theres something about GladOS's voice at the end though.
"I've just figured out what that part you just destroyed was."
Almost as flirty as Nigella Lawson :/

And the song - lol!

I think the best and most complimentary word for this (by)game is "original".
Love it.

i think it's without doubt the most original and challenging thing i've seen or played in the world of gaming for awhile. not long enough though!

shame it was so short but i enjoyed it more than pretty any game i've played in a loooooooong time. played it from start to finish in one sitting, didn't really ever feel 'stuck' but certainly found it mentally challenging from the end. superbly paced, brilliant ending. amazing credits song. lovely stuff.
