After months of having everyone tell me how incredible Portal 2 is, I’ve finally started playing it.   So far, I’ve got to say, it looks like they’re right.  More to the point, it sounds like they’re right.

The game play is exactly what I expected.  The controls are smooth, precise and easy.  The puzzles are clever, challenging and profanity inducing.  The visuals are excellent as is the physics implementation.  All of that is what it’s supposed to be.

The story and the humor are the payoffs for me.  The puzzles are clever, but the A.I. is more clever.  The person who created that character and wrote it’s dialog should win an award or two.  I can’t remember the last time I laughed that much during a game.  This thing is wildly funny.

If you enjoy puzzles, well constructed storyline and some twisted humor, this is a must play.

Cheers, Winston
