The cake is a lie...

Oh man, only now do I realize just how big a lie it is and why people have been going on and on about this game.  Much like The 6th Sense I applaud all of you for keeping this a secret...

Oh no, you went the wrong way if you didn't get the cake. I got a slice of carrot cake after making that horrific leap... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just kidding. I loved portal - I found it a truly unique experience. I watched my partner play it until he kept getting frustrated with me playing the backseat gamer and so once he got stuck I finished it for him. It took us about 4 hours to beat. I just couldn't put the damned thing down. Of course, now that I've done it, no way can I go through that again anytime soon. But the game's sense of humor continued to amaze me! Have fun with it!

This game duped me a bit, because I got a wee bit game snooty about its overall brilliance. I mean I thought that the puzzles were good, but the overall experience was not this funny, well written, masterpiece that every one was saying it was.

Then I got my cake...

Now it's one of my favorites. Playing through a bit of it again with chrisglass and getting to see how perfectly designed this games really is made me realize how much fun it is to just get sucked into a games world. I'll be excited to hear your final thoughts.

Anyhow welcome to PS3 rationality world. It has the prettiest movies and it plays games too, just not Luminess...yet.
