Oct 9, 2007 You're probably here to read about Portal, Valve's first-person puzzle game about opening rifts in space to cross uncrossable obstacle courses. It's designed around one simple but mind-expanding idea: you can shoot a hole in any wall, and then another one somewhere else, and if you walk into one you'll come out of the other. Fire them side by side and you'll walk straight back into the room you just left. Fire them on the floor and ceiling and you'll fall through the same room at ...

We wrap our brain around this mind bending first-person puzzler

But juicy details regarding this upcoming mystery wrapped in an enigma have been far and few. Luckily, we got to wrap our brains around a level from a demo of the game. While it may not be the "groundbreaking action game that ...   » Read Full Portal preview
