Advantages: Good graphics, Good gameplay, Good sound,

Disadvantages: The puzzles could be a bit hard at times.

A mind bending puzzle game by Valve, this will really get you thinking. The basic concept is that you are put in several testing rooms, and have to make your way to the next room. The trouble is, you can't do it by walking or running, you have to use the Portal gun!
This gun lets you fire a blue portal, on left click, and an orange portal on right click, which automatically link up. Then, go through the orange/blue portal, to arrive at the portal of the opposite color. As you may suspect, this game has very heavy usage of physics, specifically, momentum.
The graphics are good, and the fact that looking through an orange/blue portal shows you the view out of the other one, without any noticeable slow down, is a feat on behalf of Valve.
The sound is good, and feels hollow and empty, which suits the game environment perfectly.
All in all, this game is a fun and addictive game, that you could end up playing through two, three, four more times.

Summary: A great game, well worth buying.
