    Bought Portal 2 yesterday after finally getting a new gfx card (upgraded from an X1950 Pro to an 6670). WOW! This is excellent. The presentation is amazing even by Valve's standards. Based on this we're in for a treat for Half Life 3 ;)

    Finished this last night. Completely awesome throughout. I was a little dissapointed with the non game engine, pre-rendered sequence at the end. dissapointing from Valve. But the actual game was phenominal. Breathtaking graphics & lighting effects. I had the same feeling at times that I remember having playing through HL1 the first time, although that takes some beatting. 9/10 for Portal 2 from me. Roll on Half Life 3 is all I can say now.

    The singleplayer in Portal 2 is only half the game, the co-op is equally as long and arguably even more entertaining than the SP. So go play that too before you pass judgement with such an offensively low rating.

    :cheese: LOL

    I'd say Portal 2 is one of the best games I've ever played. I had high hopes because Portal 1 was for me the highlight of the Orange box. Portal 2 exceeded my expectations. It's superb.

    Tried the co=op last night. The person I was playing with stayed online for about 3 minutes and then buggered off, at which point the game ended. Yeah, great fun :|

    I don't know anyone that plays these games. I have no friends on Steam to play with :x It's a tragedy!
