The Lemons Rant.
I haven't played either 1 or 2 and didn't hear about either until the mass-advertizement of Portal 2... Seems.. Different? I'm not sure I understand the concept tho.. (obviously portals n shit) But like that's it? Is it just you and your bud, going around levels using the knowledge of how the portals work to help you to the next level, getting progressively more difficult?

Loved it. Amazing wit and dialogue, honestly it was perfect.
Plus they're releasing the 1st DLC free on all platforms, reminds me of why I love Valve. Plus soon they'll be releasing the SDK which means community maps.
I would describe it as the best game experience I have ever had. I enjoyed it more than the first one which I enjoy tremendously. It wasn't particularly hard though and I am hoping for some expert packs to be released at some point. Only changes I would make would be to lengthen the game. The story and acting in portal 2 were flawless. I don't think there is another game out there that can put so much personality into such basic objects. The single player campaign, I am yet to do co-op, felt like it was of an appropriate length. I just wish it was longer because every minute of that game is so damn enjoyable.

Essentially it is a game about using the elements of physics in conjunction with portable doorways to complete tasks and reach a goal. You really should try it as it is absolutely incredible.

Am personally playing now the coop split screen with a friend we are in section 5 now and loving it, I found the coop puzzles to be much more fun and challenging than the SP puzzles but the storyline so far in SP is better.
