Portals, phun with physics

Got done playing Portals from the Orange Box yesterday and that game is a blast.  It doesn't have nearly enough levels though-I hope to see some sort of expansion or full feature based off of it.

I always have fun playing puzzle games like that (one of the things I really liked about the Prince of Persia games).

I found the way that it used physics to really make you think about how to complete an area great. From the obvious I need to jump in a hole in the ground to get launched across the room to having to go flying out of a poral several times to build up enough momentum and the the strategically placed portals to pick up a robot or drop something (prefereably another robot) onto one it was pure brain scratching fun.

Portals is one very good reason (of many) to get the orange box.

You got that right, Q. Portal is probably the most underrated game available on 360 right now. Definitely frustrating and certainly addictive at the same time. Odd, I know. In passing I will leave you with one final note and that is... the cake is a LIE!
