IGN - See why Valve's new first-person puzzle game is an early contender for Game of the Year.
Jack writes: "Yet again browsing the latest offers in the Steam Spring Sale has led us to track down the very best. In terms of price to quality, we don’t think that it gets much better than this. Portal 2 is now less than a dollar, and if you haven’t got it already, now is the time to pick it up."
Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Chris Brandrick, writing for overkill, speaks to Stefan Heinz, the lead developer on Portal: Revolution, a new fan-made campaign prequel to Portal 2.
valve suck so much at making games now, opting just to smaug on top of an enormous pile of money,
that fans got so desperate that they have to make their own games.
this industry is fucking over.
Wow, I didn't know co-op was in Portal 2. That just makes it the game that much better. Its looking really good and I can't wait to get it. Co-op should be great.
Sorry Valve, but I still can't justify paying $60 for a sequel to a tech demo puzzle game that I essentially got for free with the Orange Box.
I'll wait for a Steam sale.
Oh and GOTY is highly unlikely because of all the massive games coming out this year, but I'm sure Portal 2 will be the "hipster choice" for GOTY... ugh.
I find it herd to believe that my comment is trolling. I was talking about IGN who the article is from. I find it hard believe I don't have a right to bring up a valid point. The Crysis 2 review made sure to do 2 separate reviews because the 360 version was superior in there eyes twice in the 360 article. then in the ps3 article they made sure ps3 fans know they were getting inferior copy. If you look at IGN's history this is always the case. Look at the Final Fantasy review. I think I have a right on this website to express my opinion in a non fanboyish way. The video game industry needs transpirancy to the public. The general public looks at video games as a childs hobby. The video game industry needs more mature people to lead it. Reviews should more professional and consistent. If you disagree about reviews being inconsitent. Then you haven't read enough or played enough games to talk. I bought portal 2. It's sad to be call a troll when you are talking about the game and not even putting another member here down.
