Advantages: Great puzzle level design, excellent sound

Disadvantages: High price when bought alone

Set in Apeture Science Labortaries, this intuative pluzzle game shows us how good a developer Valve really is. The game has you in the mysteious labs with a portal device which allows you to make two holes in the wall and walk through them ending up on the side of the other, also known as portals. The aim in all the levels is to reach the end using these portals ansd a bit of gravity and momentum.
The graphics are excellent as the Source engine is used with the framerate on my 8600 GT graphicvs card never slowing. The sound is also great with the voice acting superb and the sound of the shooting things both humouress and loveable, until they start shooting you.
The game is both challenging and addictive as i constanly wanted to find out more about the addictive story line which has you mysteriously going level on level to reaxch the hillarious ending.
Buy the game with the Orange box and get Half life 2, episode 1 & 2 as well as Team fortress instead of alone due to high £9.99 price, in comparison.

Summary: An excellent game showcasing Valve's ability
