    a continued legacy of quality

    With the first Portal we were given a bite sized puzzle game that introduced us to the mind bending concept of portals, physics, and momentum. And in this sequel we get a full blown title with a more robust campaign and the addition of multi player.

There are plenty of head scratching moments but i never found them stumping me for too long. Although I was learning all of this I never felt like the game was challenging my understanding of these concepts.

Naturally my expectations for Portal 2 were very lofty, perhaps unreasonably so, but Portal 2 surprised even me with its quality. The game brings back everything you loved about the first game, but with a more in-depth and varied approach to every component wh...
