Portal 2!!!!

What can I say about Portal 2? I could tell you how awesome it is, but I'm sure by now you already know that. I could tell you that it makes my brain hurt sometimes, but I'm sure it's already caused sufficient injury to your brain as well. Hell what can I say in a review about a game of mind-fucking puzzles? Valve has upped the ante in a way that I had not anticipated. They didn't just enhance the game, they took it apart and made it harder and better! Major points for you, if you just felt like singing Daft Punk :3 Hmmmmm, so what to say? Let's ask our multiplayer counterparts, Atlas and P-body. 

Men of few words, they're just ready for action.

I'm pretty sure the guys want me to tell you that being able to play Portal 2 with your friend, with your boyfriend (<3) or even with a complete stranger is 17 kinds of fun! Granted I feel this game is destined to make the list of "Games that Ruin Relationships", but for now it's more like a team building exercise or a trust fall. 

Each person carries a dual portal gun. One is red and orange, the other is blue and purple. There are puzzles where you will have to utilize all 4 portals and then others where you only need 3 and still others where the standard 2 will suffice. Good communication and patience are the two most important things to bring with you when you sit down to play this game. Yes there are opportunities for your partner to screw you royally and move a portal before you jump through it, but that's where the trust part comes in. Fun right? 

Robot love > Gangster love

See? It's fun you can hug about! My boyfriend wasn't too thrilled when I almost killed him with a misdirected laser, but lasers happen and we worked through it. :D

The campaign is challenging, and I haven't beaten it yet, but my boyfriend has and assures me that the new ending song is just as epic as "Still Alive". For those of you who have forgotten the catchy little tune, here's a cool little typography of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCt2nZF2nLk

Aaaah, good times. Anyway back to the campaign: they've added several new elements to enhance gameplay, and of course to make you wrack your brain even harder than before. I don't wanna give everything away, but there will be various gels to utilize, and unexpected companions along the way. I think this is the hardest review I will ever do. There's so much I want to say, but I just can't! Ahhhh!!! Just go play the game already! Seriously, get outta here and go play! Until next time, happy pwning!
