Portal was meh. And I say this with a bit of fear that I'll lose respect for those who suck up to Zero Punctuation. But that fear was lost when I realized how pathetic that statement sounded.

A friend and I theorized that the whole valve in head or valve in eye thing had to do with the game.

Half-life requires eyesight and quick reflexes. (Eye being of great importance)
Portal requires thinking and problem-solving. (Brain being of great importance)

Really? I'm intrigued cos you guys are the first people I've heard dissing the game. Apart from some other guy on the forum that used lots of words and didn't make any sense. Can't remember his name but he was a bit weird. Anyway, why did you and Necro not like it?

I'm fairly sure they did like it, just didn't love it the extent so many people appear to. Personally, I found it a delightful game, but hearing 'Still Alive' played on repeat for days by one friend, and constantly hearing "The cake is a lie!" said by another has whittled me down. I should play it again I suppose.

The review was far too short. You didn't seem to have any point of views or things to say that are expressly unique. Don't be discouraged though.

Portal's okay, but ya'll can stop fellating Valve any time.
We can?!? oh no-one told me.
But yeah the review. It doesn't really touch on much of the good bits about portal probably due to it being whipped up in about ten minutes. But a nice little ass kiss if nothing else.

Maybe this fellow makes perfect sense and the flaw is in your comprehension. Or not. Or both.
I will refrain from repeating my sentiments about Portal so as to eschew any confrontation, but it should be noted that Portal can be purchased separately from the Orange Box. That is all.

Valve is an average developer, and we all praise it because Yahtzee does. There, I said it.
Heh, brave sentiment but I was praising Valve way before I found out about Zero Punctuation. Not everyone on here follows Yahtzee like blind sheep.

If Valve is an average developer, then there are no good game developers.

Portal was definetily one of the most original games i have ever played, and i love the sense of humor used, ive beaten it three times all the way through and played the last few levels an uncountable amount of times. Portal = Awesomesauce, go valve
