This game is genius. I would have paid $60 for just this game. The story was top notch, I can't think of a funnier game that I have ever played.

In my opinion it's the best game I have played all year.

I want a 20 hour portal next... PORTAL II

couldn't be more serious, how much of the same drivel can everyone take. Finally something that isn't derivitive. If the gameplay doesn't get you, the humor will.

Portal was fun and intresting, with a few plot twists it's a great game but to be the best it should of been longer and more open

Portal is a good game but no where near the best on 360. Its fun and all but it was so short.

longer would have been nice. But it really isn't something that takes away from the game anyway. I'll take quality over quantity any day of the week.

Which would you rather 50 pounds of gruel or 1 pound of lobster?

i'd pay for portal by itself if it had 100 puzzles like the later ones. great game but ultimately too short to be called the best game on the 360.

While I do find Portal very entertaining, it's nowhere near my favorite game on the system.

Great game? Yes. My favorite game on the 360? Not by a long shot.

50 pounds of lobster!

Seriously, it is an awesome and fun game, but I finished it in an afternoon, and I'm the slowest gamer in the world. There's plenty of games that are longer, more fun, with better stories, so I'd say it is hardly the best game on 360. Still, it has a fair amount of replay value and it adds a lot to the Orange Box. I, too, would love to see a longer version, or to see elements of Portal in a Half Life sequel.

are these good games???? i am planning to get a few games i have missed.since i have had my 360 for little more than a month..i have right now...halo 3, R6V, GEARS, topspin 2, and viva pinata.....

these are the games i am thinkin about gettin

FOR SURE: Orange Box, Guitar Hero 3

Not Sure: GRAW 2, Shadowrun, Oblivion GOTY..(dont own it yet)

the games im not sure about is what i want to know about..i cant oblivoin or shadow run..the people that i get it from dont have it (i live in a small town)..and i was wandering about those and GRAW 2..if they are good or not....and which one should i go for first..

ianp_91

I didn't like GRAW2, it's just not my thing, but most people love it. Oblivion is an absolute must buy, shadowrun was mediocre at best.

It's a good game but it surely is not the best game on 360 or is it even worth 60$.

I've honestly enjoyed Portal more than anything on my 360, such a phenomenal game, it was short but I actually thought that if the game was longer, it wouldn't have the same great charm it already did. Yeah, I love Portal too.

Great complimentary game to the Orange Box...the best game on 360 IMO still Oblivion or Gears of War until COD4 and Mass Effect.

Portal, along with the HL games have amazing atmospheres that really sets the mood, feels like you're in the movie the cube. That's really what makes these game so great, the puzzles in Portal were good, but it would have been a mediocre game without the plot twists, the humor, and the sense of style that went into it. Same with HL, it really makes you feel like you're in a living breathing world fighting to survive an onslaught. The shooting action is amazing, but would be nothing without the sense of immersion, and just plain amount of epic that eminates from every moment.

Fun, but by far not the best. Would've been nice if game was longer and they added like 50 bonus puzzles to do.

I thought the actual game was easy but the advanced maps (only 4) were great.
