Addicted to Portal

Edwin February 7th, 2008

Damn you! You Valve personnel are a bunch of a**holes for creating this incredibly addictive and awesomely spectacular game. Short enough for you to beat in 5 hours (which I proved last weekend [Sorry Ken, Joel]) but enough MADNESS to go around with all the challenges, advanced maps, etc to keep you itching like a crack fiend. The premise of the game is that you have this gun that shoots a blue or orange portal that allows you to create a path for yourself. For example, if you shoot an orange portal on the ceiling then shoot a blue beneath you, you go through the ceiling portal. The puzzles are addictive, challenging and frustrating too. All in good fun. If you think that I’m lying try the fan-based flash version of the of the game and tell me you didn’t want to scream in frustration, yet you couldn’t stop playing it. PS - I beat that one too. In case you are wondering how awesome the 3D version is here’s a video:
