18 May 2011All too often video game sequels suffer from what I like to call ‘Bioshock syndrome’. There’s nothing wrong with them. But the sequel often never really lives up to or can’t capture the magic that was the original title. Sure it plays better, looks better and doesn’t have the little nuances the first game did, but it’s just doesn’t have that WOW impact factor. Read more

If a game has to have any of these qualities, or indeed all of these arbitrary qualities we have just put forward for the sake of an introduction, then Portal 2 is a game's game. It's a gamey game's game. Read more

Portal 2 is a fantastic follow up that delivers interesting gameplay elements outlined with some outstanding performances from such a small cast of characters. The only downfall here is that for a puzzle game the puzzles don't really put you to the test. Pros Some new items that make game play interesting. Co-op multiplayer is fun with the right people.

Reviewer: ||))anny\//, BigPond GameArena4 January 2012From a concept that was designed in a gamer's unversity to a game of the year winning steam-signiture title, portal was one of vavle's most stand out and rememberable titles. While the half-life series was arguably the best first person shooter series on the windows os, portal brought a new breed of fans to valve's franchise. Portal was not only one genre, it was complied of serveral, as many great games have done in the past like deus ex. Read more
