Portal 2

I finally caved in and installed my copy of Portal 2 that I had kicking about, after having mixed feelings of the game before I played it and hearing things off of friends and stuff really put me off.
  However I installed it and decided fuck it lets think with portals for the evening and I must say it has the same feel as the first game with all the portals and companion cubes and what not. However this time around it feels like some of the humour is very forced in parts and it is just trying to feed off what Portal 1 was all about dark humour with some puzzle solving but regardless of this it still has the same charm and puzzle-an going on so lets keep it at that.
  It is visually pleasing as you are in the same place as Portal 1 however it has aged this time around and has for a very long time so the vegetation has taken over and a few things are falling apart but at least they still have the ability to cut you in half from lasers and stab pointy things into you so hurrah!
  I hear that the Co-op in this game has a totally different story to the one of in the single player and you play as 2 bots I could see this being a heck of a lot of fun but I will try to leave that until I finally finish Single player it is a bit longer than the first game to say the least and I got it for only 30$ so lets not complain for the moment about if its worth the money or not.
  Valve has also announced recently its first batch of DLC is coming away but will be free as in Valves nature so that should stop a lot of bitching for the moment but I guess people will find something to bitch about regardless.
  Anyways good game, a bit samey but pretty solid I will give it a 7/10

  1. The co-op is pretty fun, but yes, I wouldn't suggest playing it until you've done the single player. There aren't spoilers as such, but you can glean certain plot twists from some of the dialogue.

    I enjoyed it immensely, and I'm even enjoying sitting with the Girl and biting my knuckles whilst trying to stop myself giving her hints.

    Once you get round to the co-op (and PSN goes live again so I can link my PS3 version to my Steam account) we'll have to do some science!
