Oh.
I thought it was pretty cool, although doesn't really have a replay factor for me.

I liked the puzzles, and I liked the adroableness. It's no saviour to mankind or anything like peopel said, but it's intensely... likeable?

I just thought it was an amazing application of game physics, and very funny and well-written.

yeah, I don't want to come across all challops and it was definitely very charming and I loved how they managed to inject some real warmth into the sterility of the design but the gameplay ultimately left me a little cold : /

was it that you didn't like the portal mechanic, or the application of it?
like.. if the portal gun was worked into half-life 2 in a good way would it be awesome or meh?

I love the portal gun and if they worked that into HL officially it wd be rad (there's already an unofficial mod isn't there?)
I think my problem is maybe that I have very conservative views when it comes to first-person games; it's cool tht they innovated and all but I think there's pt of me tht doesn't want innovation here;
I dunno tht seems a weird thing to say; especially when i. it really is quite a fresh take on the first person (and has in its way had immediate influence cf. mirrors edge) and ii. the game is so slight to be innoffensive
gawd any of tht make sense? basically I just didn't want to load it up

basically you don't want to play any game that doesn't involve shooting people in the head
