well I held off buying the orange box because I was up to my eyeballs in Forza again. Got it in my local Asda at the weekend started palying portal yesterday. That is one of the best games I have ever played

The android voice had me LOL a few times.The puzzles were good but not too taxing on the grey matter.

 

PC or 360?

 

mmm, cake!

I agree that some of the things Glados sad were rather amusing, plus the song "Still Alive" at the end was rather well done. I think Aperture Science is meant to make an appearance in Half Life 2 - Episode 3 (if I recall the ship seen in the portal is something to do with AS)

 

I really liked Portal. Tried to get my GF to play as a means to learn FPS games but she finds the controls too hard to get used to.

Start playing Team Fortress and lose hours!

 

Cheers RB5 - will check this game out.

 

360

never played any of the halflife games so just started Halflife 2 this afternoon. It's all a bit run and no gun until now so I hope it gets better.

 

Stick it out, once past the hoverboat bit it starts to heat up

 

 

Yep. I really enjoyed Portal too and I never thought that it would have such a twist in it. The end credit song is just plain awesome! you can hear it on Youtube, but I don't want to spoil it here.

If you want a copy of Still Alive and you have Portal, have a read of this, which details how to pull it out from the portal game files.

 

The cake is a lie!

If you like HL2, then you must have a look at the minerva:metastasis mod. It's very, very well written and implemented.

 

Play it again and see if you can beat this guy's time of 28 seconds on Level 15 !!
