    Too short.. and simple..

    The game was great i mean, this hasnt been done before, but the fact is. The game is very short, i complete it in 2-4 hours, It took me no longer than 5-10 mins for each puzzle, and if i was stuck only 5 mins to figure i... Read Full Review

    Absolutely brilliant!

    Portal is absolutely brilliant, this game is brainfood. It is a little short, but these are the type of game-mechanics that allow you to really interact within in a 3-dimensional world, and open up numerous posibilties i... Read Full Review

    A very fun game with fresh gameplay.

    Portal is a game in which you fire two portals to achieve certain results - one destination portal (the orange one) and one departure portal (the blue one). The entire game is based on using these portals to navigate ... Read Full Review

    I must hand it to Valve...

    I must hand it to Valve... Why? For creating a game that is not only amazingly innovative, but one that non-gamers can enjoy as well, of course. Portal is the first game I've seen in a long time that truly makes an i... Read Full Review

    A game with a solid storyline, superb concept, and a quirky sense of humor. Only thing missing now is the Multi-player!!

    Glancing through my PC Gamer magazine, I saw a preview for Portal. I read the article and looked at the picture and deemed it pointless and a waste. But, in an effort to waste time, I downloaded the demo and was simply a... Read Full Review

    All Things considered, this game is so-so. Read on.

    Ok, I'll start with the good, because there isn't much. The game runs on the Half-Life 2 engine, so if you have played HL2, The graphics, sound, controls ect are basically the same. The game ran stable on my machine, wit... Read Full Review

    I gave this game a 10. I don't give 10s.. Read why.

    This game was short.. that is the negative. But a game that keeps me up at 4:00AM, and just listening to the background voice and the eerie atmosphere... that is what makes this game. I could care less for a game that ... Read Full Review

    A good, funny tech demo that seems to be lacking a game.

    First off, let me say I was at level 19 before I really felt like the game was starting. The principle of this game is incredible, it's execution isn't, however. Sure it works well, has funny dialog, and a great credits... Read Full Review

    Graphics, Gameplay, Personality. Eat cake and lap it up.

    Played it, completed it very quickly, and its left an indelible mark on me of what games can be like at their very very best. I wasn't even going to play this game as i was frustrated at being forced to get the Orange Bo... Read Full Review

    Perfection, with cake.

    To begin, this game is like no other (exception given to Narbacular Drop). There is no other game like it. This is the perfect cross between the standard FPS and a decent puzzle game. The one complaint I share with most ... Read Full Review
