    Anyone else think the "I'm Still Alive" song from the ending credits to Portal is the best song in a videogame ever? It's just so witty and catchy and surprsingly good to be honest.

    What does everyone else think?

    It is a pretty clever song to have at the end credits.

    The two songs I posted are awesome, better "songs" than Still Alive.

    Still alive isn't really a good song unless you had the game portal for context. As an extention of the game, it's the best, but I find the other two to be musically superior.

    And educated opinion, i think i agree with you on the musical aspect. In terms of lyrics however i really do find Still Alive superior to many modern day songs from bands.

    The lyrics are witty, but again, only in the context of the game itself. The other two can very much stand alone.

    But I do enjoy myself some Still Alive. I got orange box on steam, had it preloaded when it came out. Finished it day one, downloaded the song the next day when I found it online, listened to it on repeat 20 times or so.

    lol ditto, i remember a group of us Gamespot users started a community just to use the chat room function and discuss our excitement for the Orange Box just hours before its release.
