Flash Portal is a VERY different experience.

I played Portal in the Orange Box and loved it. I recently downloaded the XBLA version, but I have yet to go through it again. My first run through took me 3 hours and 7 minutes.

I'd like to try and beat that time, but since I've already solved all the puzzles and know what to do it wouldn't really be fair.

Did you go through the "advanced" versions of the puzzles that are unlocked after you finish the game? They are pretty hard and take a lot of thought.

Portal rocks the house!

Game developers trying to create new ideas out of existing ones is awesome. 8)

I've beaten it. I enjoyed it, but think it's one of the most overhyped games in gaming history.

I absolutely loved it. I'm not a big first-person shooter fan, though, with the exception of Half-Life, so the way it different from games like Halo and the like was very refreshing to me. And it's style of humor was right up my alley, so to speak.

Portal is a great game. Very fun and creative.

And Still Alive is my ringtone.

But there's no sense crying
Over every mistake
You just keep on trying
Till you run out of cake

:lol:

I've played a little and watched all the levels on Youtube, Only thing I don't like is just that GLaDOS creeped me out a little, and I'd be rushing through the last level in a total panic...

You have to see this video, there is an easter egg that takes you through the backstage areas of the Apature Science Labratories, where you will find... CAKE!

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5QveX3-1O8[/youtube]

I was looking it up on Youtube and it actually turns out, you can have the cake, although you can't eat it, if you watch till the end, it also reveals the outside(and presumably car park) of the labratory, it is a fairly long vid, the cake is found at about 3:04...

Here's even more proof:
