Portal

Genre: Puzzle
Made by Valve

Story: 8/10
It doesn't really show what happened before but you will start in a chamber. "It takes place in the "Enrichment Center" for "Aperture Laboratories," also known as "Aperture Science", the research corporation responsible for the creation of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (or "portal gun")." taken from Wiki. You go through 18 levels that makes you think. You use the Portal Gun to go around places where you can't reach. But soon, you find out that the cake is a lie.

Gameplay: 9/10

It is in First Person and because it was made by Valve, It kinda looks like Half Life but without guns. You don't go around killing people. It's all about thinking and it's Fun. Based on physics. There is the Blue Portal and the Orange Portal. If you enter the blue portal, you go through the orange portal and vice versa.

Graphics: 9/10

The graphics of Portal are pretty good. It's in 3-D graphics, looks realistic and it's awesome. Makes you think that it's real in the future. When you put a portal infront of you and behind you, you can see yourself looking at the portal looking at the other portal looking at the other portal looking at the other portal lookin. . . . .

Sound: 8/10

The sound in the game are cool. There are only sounds when something bad is going to happen and the sound of the Portal gun isn't bad at all. The sound of GLaDOS is like a girl robot WHICH it is. You can hear the air under you when you fall from an infinite loop. AND IT HAS A COOL ENDING SONG.

New Stuff:

You don't kill people. It's a 3-D puzzle game. It has physics on it. When you fall from an infinite loop, you fall down faster and faster. VERY FUN.

Pros:

It's a 3-D puzzle game.
You have objectives.
You have achievements.
You can do stuff you can't do in life.
Very good graphics.
Very good ending song.

Cons:
No Cons at all.

OVERALL: 10/10
