Portal

ok this game... this game ... yeah i dont know where to begin... its crazy... the game style is one that hasnt been seen in years... well mainstream that is... it features a scientist who is using a special portal launching gun... developed on the source engine... valve set a new bar for physics and camera usage with this game... the portals themselves act exactly how a portal should... throw an item through one hole... it comes out the other as though it were a doorway... you can even create a paradox where you can throw a book through a portal and have it fall for eternity... or yourself... my favorite levels are those where you have to build momentum from jumping from portal to portal... i think the developers were genius with those...

graphically its beautiful... its source... so characters are lifelike... water and fire look as real as can be... textures are superb...

sounds and voices are hilarious... the cake is a lie... i mean.. come on... and the damn song at the end... you cant help but love this game...

physics again... because its such a huge thing for this game... are phenomenal... items fall as though they were real... you gain speed at realistic rates while falling and jumping from portal to portal...

ultimate complaint... too short... i really need to go out and search for some modded levels for this... because its just so damn fun... some of the levels really racked my brain...
