"Aperture Science: We do what we must, because we can"

Portal is a unique experience.

The game consists of throwing portals which let you teleport from one location to another. Pretty straight forward and logical. Don't let the trailer scare you with how mind bending and confusing it seems. Anyone can do this game.

You will notice that the game is full of 1984-ish "newspeak" and chock full of mockery for various groups. Personally I love tongue in cheek dead-pan humor and this game had me rolling at the end. Most of the jokes you won't get in the beginning but as the story progresses you'll remember what you were told before and laugh, and laugh, and laugh.

The story: You work for a government miltiary contracting group called Aperture Science that is in direct competition with Black Mesa. Black Mesa charges more and gets more contracts than Aperture Science so in response to this they have developed a testing facility that will aid in their research to design better products. You are the test subject. You will use your logic and amazing intelligence to navigate each test area until you have completed the test. Upon completition you will be served cake. I heard the cake is very delicious and moist.

You can download it for $19.95 by clicking on the link I provided at the top of page (what a bargain). I'm telling the truth. Seriously.
