(If you&#8217;ve played it, you probably figured that out from the title of the post.) It&#8217;s a fun game, and certainly deserving of most of the hype it&#8217;s received. A friend of mine recently said that it was nice to see a good 3D engine used for something other than a First Person Shooter, and I agree.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a great puzzle game that consistently reminded me of Zelda (Ocarina of Time, specifically). It has a good learning curve right up until the last two levels, each of whose difficulty easily dwarfs all previous levels combined.<\/p>\n<p>Like many good puzzle games, it&#8217;s strangely addictive. I get simulator sickness from playing most 3D games, and Portal was no exception. I have a headache and an upset stomach as I write this, in fact. It was a mild effect though, unlike some other games I&#8217;ve played. Anyway, my point is that the game was good enough to play through the slight dizziness.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re at all interested in Portal, go play it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still Alive (Japanese Version) Download free mp3 | Download free music I just finished playing through Portal.
