Liked portal?


Then you'll love this

http://www.primotechnology.com/2007/...life-2-portal/

It's incredible, and I can't wait to do it

Unfortunately, I still need to get my hands on the Orange Box, which is starting to annoy me because I couldn't use a card to buy it off Steam, so I went to the store today and it was £35! ($70)

Kinda cool. Looks like a fun way to kill some time but I don't see a whole lot of real use. Would be better if NPCs fell through portals to. Once I get Orange Box and play though it I'll give it a try.

zomg! I am trying this, this weekend. To me this would be loads of fun (even if NPCs can't fall into a portal)

They were selling it at HMV and Virgin for £35. I've bought it from Steam now anyway, 40% until Episode 2! \o/

I played portal last night and it took about 2 and a 1/2 hours to get through... The game was great fun, and was very comical. (esp. funny if you've played through HL1). Games these days have trouble keeping me interested very long, so for me this was the perfect length and enjoyable. Great stuff. Ending song is hilarious and very well done.

Man portal is awesome.

Anyone else think that there's a link between this and Half Life? Aperture science...Boreallis?

All very exciting

I just bought Half Life 2 last week and played throught it the other night... I didn't like it as much as I did the original. However, this portals game looks awesome! I can't wait to try it out.

Haha yeah, yesterday when I was eating dinner I was looking over at the bread bin thinking "If I laid a portal underneath I could have me some bread"

I.M.O.G.: I'm sorry to inform you that your sig violates forum rules. Due to obscene, and frankly ugly, choices of colors you must change this. I suggest brown and orange perhaps.
lol JK... Congratulations on your season. Greetings from Cleveland, the home of "There's always next year".
cw823: I think you need to edit your sig, this could finally be a year for a Cleveland team. Go Cavs!

It's in the last level. There is also a mention of Aperture Science in HL2: EP2.
