Portal

Oh my, I am addicted. To Portal, the newest release from Valve. It's a part of The Orange Box, but can be also bought separately on Steam.
Portal is a FPP puzzle game, running on Source engine, with portals. Portals are extra-demensional gates, there are two of them, and when you enter one of them, you come out of the other. Portals can be placed virtually everywhere, except moving surfaces and steel walls. Puzzles vary from simple to complex, using switches, turrets, moving walls, glass walls, energy orbs and Weigted Companion Cube, you have to get from one elevator to another.
The graphics is nice, since it runs on Source, the sound however... The soundtrack is just brilliant. Everything seems so natural. And the voices... really only two things talk, the turrets (soooo cuteee ^_^) and GlaDos, a supercomputer which runs the whole thing. Anytime they speak prepare to lol, cause all of the speeches are very funny.
That makes the game look like the creators had lots of fun while making it, and the players should have lots of fun while playing it too. I sure did. Too bad it's so short.
9/10
