Portals - Arsonists Get All The Girls

I Think With Portals!

Advantages: Original game design, masterful storyline, truly immersive, new ideas
Disadvantages: Short

might have damaged the atmosphere and story of the game. If you fancy trying Portal out for yourself, you'll need a PC or Xbox 360. It is available in the following forms: Portal (PC only) Portal is available as a standalone game for the PC. Generally costs around £14.99. The Orange Box (PC/Xbox 360) Probably the best way for most people to get their hands on Portal. This is an absolutely cracking compilation of high-quality games, and these days its available fairly cheaply. Not only does the Orange Box include Portal, it also includes full copies of Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 Episodes One and Two. The Half-Life games are fantastic enough and are worth the entry price without all the added bonuses, and Team Fortress is apparently an excellent multiplayer Capture The Flag game - I wouldn't know how good it is ...

Review of Portal (PC)

It's Still Alive- Portal

Advantages: Unique gameplay and creepy robots
Disadvantages: Outdated graphics and fairly short

The game portal, is the most imaginative and incredibly simple idea for a game I have ever had the joy of playing. The game is set in the Half-life universe developed by the American company Valve, which has a very in-depth storyline that is a great read but not necessary to know to play portal.

To complete the many complicated challenges in front of you, you must make full use of the portal gun given to you which allows you to fire a blue and an orange portal, by stepping in one you come out the other.

Review of Portal (PC)

It's A Girls World After All

Advantages: Extremely funny, very true to life and featuring a great cast
Disadvantages: Makes you realise how mean us girls can really be! (not me obv...)

certainly enjoy the journey there, and may even be surprised by the twists on the way. WHAT I DISLIKED- I have to say that there is not a lot that I can say in criticism of this film, as any perceived shortcomings of the film will not be enough to outweigh its many advantages. However, in the interest of providing a thorough review, I will elaborate on what I felt to be some of the relative weaknesses of the film. I suppose one disadvantage of this film is that, like all films, it probably has a certain target audience. This is just speculation but I am going to say, on a hunch, that this film is probably best for the girls. However, an advantage of this film is that, as the humour is so clever, I wouldn't say that, like most teen/chick flicks it was just for girls, as you may expect. Whilst men may not get some of the familiarity ...
