If you haven’t gotten your hands on a copy of the Orange Box from Valve yet, Go do it right now if for nothing else the new game Portal. Admittedly the only reason I bought it was for Portal. The 50 dollar price tag is a small price to pay considering you get Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2, and of Course Portal. Alright back to portal because I’ve only really only played a bit of all the other games. Portal for all of those who don’t know is a new game using the source engine. The Game is fairly simple as in you get a Portal gun that allows you to create entrance and exit portals on walls in your environment. You use this Gun to Solve Increasingly harder puzzles given to you by a mysterious robotic voice. That’s it! It may seem fairly boring from my description, but believe me its far from it, I basically sat down once I got it and played thought it in one sitting. The game actually has a story and retains the creepy feel of the Half-Life series making it seem almost as a side story of Half-Life. The downside to the game is the length, its not that long, but other than that it’s a near perfect game.
