As you know (or as you would know if you'd memorised every detail of my life like I expect you to), I disapprove of basically every new computer game developed in the last fifteen years or so. Consequently, I'm a little out of touch with what modern games are like. However, someone made a passing reference to the game "Portal" today, which intrigued me enough to look it up. And, well, I've seen unanimously raving reviews, lots of screenshots and youtube clips, no end of buzz about it, and now I really, really want this game! Enough to abandon my long-held belief that video games reached perfection with the Sega Mega Drive. So, before I spend a lot of money that I really can't afford on a game that the most enthusiastic reviews concede will only take about five hours to complete, I thought I'd ask my loyal blog-readers if you've played it, and if it really is as clever, funny and entertaining as the masses of internet people make it sound?
It really seems worth the £15 it costs in HMV just for that brilliant song at the end...

If u think that a song is of that value then, I think advice is pointless ! Yes, buy it :-0
When I am king, you may be chief music advisor. Thanks for the tip; indeed, Still Alive is brilliant. I am personally tempted to find a video of someone solving Portal rather than to buy my game, but then again (a) I am cheap and (b) my computer is made by Armitage Shanks.
