I recently picked up the Orange Box off of Steam for the PC, and have fallen in love with the game Portal. It's a short game, but very catchy.

I found this typography video that was done to the end credits song and was simply blown away by it.

WARNING: Song has spoilers in it (kinda).

Loved the game! Got the dlc pack for it, but it just wasn't the same without a killer AI out to get you and talking the whole way. LOL
They do have a lot to live up to in the next one, not so much in puzzles but in personality.

Let me ask this. How many of you solved all of the puzzles on Portal without having to look up solutions online?

I finished them all in one sitting with no deaths. I enjoyed the game but didnt find it all that hard. I have higher hopes for the second one.

I managed to figure out all the puzzles in the standard single player game but I got stuck on the final bonus puzzle. I forgot what that one was called but I had to go on Youtube and look up a video on how that puzzle was done. Yeah, I would have NEVER figured out that one on my own. LOL
