Ok. I knew that Portal was going to be good but, Wow!
I actually had no idea what I was getting myself into. The only reason that I bought The Orange Box was because of the fact that it was 3 in 1. But the only game I really wanted was Portal.
When you finally perform your first consecutive free-fall that is infinite, your brain will explode.
It's also how you get that big falling achievement.
Portal starts off kind of humorous and a little creepy at the same time but then gets fun.
Of course, it is a puzzle game so it doesn't really have to be fun but the fun part happens when you have to sling-shot yourself across the map for the first time.
I nominate the "Companion Cube" for best character for 2008. And I hope that you all made it to the party at the end. Or were smart enough to realize what is actually happening.
When I finally tried Half-Life, I played for 20 minutes and then turned it off. (too intense)
Seriously... After I calmed down, I turned the game back on and went at it. I only made it 1 more hour. And I still haven't beaten it. This game is everything I was looking for in a first-person shooter.
Very intimidating.
Team Fortress 2's network is broken. Lag-Lag-Lag-Lag. Everywhere. I just wish I could figure out all of the commands. Or how to play with the console version (that would be nice).
But seriously, it is actually really fun. When I need to relax from Gears of War, or Half-Life, Team Fortress is there to take me in.
Too much fun.
