Default Is Portal the Best Short Game ever?

How many have played it and think that this is perhaps the best short game ever bundled?
I hope that we see some of what is in Portal in future HalfLife releases :)

Portal is incredible! I bought the orange box 2-3 days after it came out. TF2, Portal and Ep2, all great games. The "lab" you are at in portal, gets mention several times during Episode 2, so they do both tie together

Default Re: Is Portal the Best Short Game ever?

I was going to start a thread about this, but since this one is here already, here goes.

I bought the Orange box today while out shopping for a case for my phone. Wal-Mart had it for $29.99. I asked the lady at the register if that was the right price, I thought it would be $50 or so. She called the manager for electronics over and she also told me it was correct. So I bought it for $29. I left my cell # in case they got in trouble for it. She called about 30 minutes ago to let me know it was supposed to be $49.78, but that since I had pointed it out and saved them some money, she wasn't going to ask that I come back to pay the difference.

Ok i cannot get the end credit music out of my damn head anymore , i hear it in my sleep now........ i see it in peoples "quotes" it follows me , i swear i could hear a guy listening to it on his ipod behind me in the line up at the bank. I think it may be a government conspiracy with a subliminal message ;)

I did it, as well as all the advanced maps and all the challenges. 100% complete yay :D
It's an awesome game, made me stop playing Warsow for a full week even. :P




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

It was short. And Easy. But so awesome.

IMO its better than a hard as hell long game that you'll buy and never finish.

Have you done the challenges? Least portal, least time and such. Some really made me think. :)

Yep I agree the main game was short and easy. This is why the challenges are there. ;P
