"Want to play XBox tonight?"
That's how it started. It comprised of two guns, a smartass computer narrator, an inanimate companion cube, "no hard feelings" and me knowing when to quit for the night. Mix together, shake, and serve: Portal for XBox 360.
If you're not into "shoot-em-up" games or games where you have to rescue someone, etc. but prefer more logic games (think the LSAT), Portal is definitely the one for you. If you get frustrated easily, Portal is NOT the one for you. You had better be prepared to put all of your brain energy (or at least the majority of it ;) ) into playing this game.
The point of the game, without giving too much away, is to maneuver through a series of mind puzzles; an understanding or an open-mind to alternate physics and a small grasp in geometric angles helps.
Though from the point I played up to there aren't any other human characters, you might find yourself talking to an inanimate "companion cube" or saying "take that" to little laser-shooting bots trying to kill you as you knock them over.
All-in-all, I can tell that Portal will be one of those games that I need to spend an entire afternoon playing...until I get frustrated and have to take an extensive break.
