RM Jingle Jangle Countdown: Portal Series

“So, how are you holding up? Because I’m a POTATO!” - GLaDOS

Developer: Valve

Platform: PC

Genre: Puzzle

The Message:

        You’re not normal; you’re just as crazy as everyone else.

Review:
        I’m sure this game needs no introduction.  Portal is one of those games that even if you’re not a gamer, you have heard of it somewhere.  What with its countless memes, funny dialogue, and intriguing story, it’s really no wonder.  Introducing players to the simple but useful Portal gun, Portal will make you see the world in a very different way.  What was once a wall is now a doorway.  Some cleverly placed portals and you now have a crude trebuchet.  While the first game in the series is focused more on solving the mysteries of the Aperture Laboratories, the second game is much more narrative driven.  With excellent voice acting and pace, Portal shows us what big ideas can come from simple concepts.
