This weekend I played and finished the game Portal. Man was it awesome. For those of you that are not too much into gaming, I’ll first point you to a video clip:
Now, what I liked best about this game, a single player, first person action/puzzle hybrid, is that it was short but very interesting. It took me about 5 hours of total gameplay to get to the finish, but it only took about 2 to figure out how the game works. This alone makes this my new game to show to people who don’t know about gaming but want to. A "intro to gaming" game, if you will. The humor, simplicity and escalating difficulty make Portal one of the best games I’ve played.
I haven’t tried the challenge maps yet, but I’m sure they’ll suck a few more hours out of me. :unsmith:
