"Let's just follow the railing I guess..."

Portal 2

Portal 2 is the real deal. A complete aesthetic experience from start to finish.

A few minor squabbles (the loading times, a piecemeal narrative, a few aggravatingly nebulous environmental puzzles, the overdone retro-future shtick) and one major issue (WHERE IS HALF-LIFE 2 EPISODE 3?) aside, I hereby nominate Portal 2 as the new go-to-game for proselytizing to non-gamers.

And I haven't even gotten a chance to play the Co-Op mode with Mark yet (thank you very much PSN hackers).

Grade: A

Hey, it sounds like we'll only have to wait a week to play together. Or more. Maybe, actually, a lot longer than a week. But, you know, it can feel like a week if you just think about it in different measurements of time. Like, say, if it's a month but instead of calling a day a day when it's a day long, you could call a day a day when it's four days long. Then it's just a week again and not a month, which is a really long time. It's really obvious and simple if you think about it.

(Wheatley FTW!)

Timber scum. Enjoy your victory, may it be short lived.

Tarnishing the unbeaten streak of our beloved RSL... absurd.
