    Did anyone else really like the ending of Portal? I thought it was awesome, it went from like a puzzle type game, to seeming more like a real game. Man, that was so much fun. And the song in the credits at the end....priceless.....good stuff.....

    the ending I thought was one of the best I've seen in a game for awhile, I didnt really like the final "fight" i guess you could call it, with those three eye things, but how you had to be super creative to get there really gave me a thought of self-accomplishment.....and I didnt think there was gonna be a cake...but there was....and that song...ya, I've been looking for it so I can download it. If they dont build off this in another game, they would have to be insane, def the game of the year for me so far...

    Portal is the whole reason I got the orange box. I did enjoy the game but admit I was dissapointed at how short it was. The challenges/advanced maps were the only thing that took long to do and they were not so much fun (advanced was, challenges tho have made me hate the game for awhile because some of them are so impossibly hard. I only need 17 and 18 all the rest I have gold)
