I finally got my hands on Portal today and I beat it fairly quickly. If you haven't played it yet I recommend that you do. It's not that expensive ($20) and the show is well worth the price of admission, however If you can get a friend to buy it, that's definitely the way to go. This is a game that can easily be beaten in one sitting, and now that I've beaten it I don't really feel this huge urge to go back and beat it again. I guess I could see myself playing through it once more, but only so that I can listen to the developers commentary. Really, It feels more like the first level of a larger game then a full game itself. There's a lot of potential that really hasn't been met, and I'm really hoping that Portal 2 is a whole lot longer and has a whole lot more stuff in it. The sentry guns were nice, but they don't have bones for me to break. There's nothing more satisfying then taking on tons of soldiers with an amazing ability to manipulate physics. Remember when the gravity gun in Half Life 2 got super charged? I rest my case. What Portal really got right (other then the portal mechanic, which is awesome) was it's good sense of humor. It ranks up there with the Monkey Island games, and as far as I'm concerned, few games are as funny as the Monkey Island games.
