Portal 2 Ah... Portal 2... Brings puzzle games to another level. It is nice to play a game without a true "weapon" and win with wit and portal physics. I had decided to pick this up on a whim after seeing countless memes on the internet showing something ridiculous being transported via a blue and orange portal. I didn't have too high of hopes, seems that anything out of the RPG genre disappoints me. I gave it a shot and it was addicting to say the least. The puzzles in Portal 2 are very hard, and I actually had to cheat online on two of them. Some of the puzzles force you to think so outside of the box that you think "this isn't going to work" and it actually works and you think you're a Goddamn genius.
The personality of the robots/supporting characters are terrific. The insults and wittiness from Glados alone are enough keep you entertained. And no, I did not play the first one. I should of, but I think they let it be known enough that Chell had destroyed Glados in the first game. I did enjoy her as a potato. Anyway there is a portal drinking game on YouTube, this would be a very fun game to play on a Friday night on co-op mode with a friend. That is, if you have nothing to do on Friday nights and you have friends. The single player play through was terrific. Buy this game!!
