Portal

Absolutely brilliant!

User Rating: 9.5 | Portal PC

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 in the next generation of games. Maybe at some point Valve might release a level-editor so players can create their own traps.

The storyline reminded me immediately of the movie "Cube" where people are trapped inside a never ending box. In Portal you follow the trail of a previous test-subject and go behind the scenes of the rooms and traps. The voice commentary is very funny at times.

The sound and graphics are excellent and the game should run nice and smooth on most machines.
