Portal

Suffering as I am with a nasty bout of 'man flu' I decided to give Portal a whirl.

What a bloody fantastic game this is. The humour is great and the ending is ... well you'll see.

Brilliant.

I've got the flu too, (why is it people always suggest it's man flu...? Gits

), i certainly think it's going around at the moment.

Anyway, Portal was/is a brilliant game! I've only played the main levels at the moment, but i hope they will bring out a sequel, maybe a much longer and more 'full' game.

Wasn't there a rumour or something that this was a test for implementing a similar weapon in Episode 3? I could be talking a load of rubbish though.

Well if you play all the way through Episode 2 they tie the two games together nicely, and leave a very strong possibility of Gordon getting his hands on a Portal gun in Episode 3.

Oh I hope you don't mean that you thought level 19 was the end?

I did all the advanced bonuses but don't bother with the challenge ones, I had a go and they're impossible...I've seen some videos of people doing it, and frankly I still don't think they're possible.
Hard ones are good fun though.

I cant figure out one of those, with the acid pit straight at the start.

Thanks for the heads-up I'm downloading it now.

Must agree, excellent game.

Yeah, the completed menu screen is a nice touch. Still humming the song.

Anyone for cake?

Love the graffiti in the maintenance areas.

The cake is a lie!!!!

You seen Jonathan Coulton's (the guy who did the song) other stuff? Check YouTube for 'Code Monkey'.

Portal's ace, really good game, really hope they make a number two.

I love the Bonus maps as well, a good challenge.
