Game Review: Portal

Hello gamers! Today I will be reviewing a game that I just finished playing about 2 weeks ago, Portal!!
Portal was a game released in 2007 in the game The Orange Box, which included the games Half Life 2: Episodes 1 and 2 and Team Fortress 2 as well as Portal. It was created by VALVE, a video game company. It became a very popular and viral game, so popular that it was followed in 2011 by Portal 2, which I have also played and completed. In Portal, you play as a test subject named Chell. She is an orphan, and she works in a scientific research facility called Aperture Science. Unfortunately, Aperture Science is ruled by an Evil Robot named GLaDOS (Genetic Life form and Disc Operating System) who tells you that you must complete various puzzles using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (Or Portal Gun, hence the title of the game.) to get to her (And to get your cake!). Now, the Portal Gun isn't a regular gun, it shoots Portals! 2 portals at a time, an Orange one and a Blue one to solve the puzzles which would be impossible without the gun. Anyway, at the end of the very last test chamber, Chell don't listen to GLaDOS' orders to stay put, no, she decided to try and find GLaDOS and destroy her once and for all!
GLaDOS!!!!!!!
Portal was a great game, it was very Mentally Stimulating and very exciting. It also had an AWESOME song at the end of the game, Still Alive, preformed by GLaDOS herself! While the game is great, I would recommend it for ages 9 and up because it does have a little bit of blood in it and the game is very difficult. GLaDOS' voice did get a little bit annoying in the game, but, WHO CARES!!?? This game was excellent! I would give it 5 out of 5 stars!!!!!! If you want to play it, it is ten bucks on Steam (The online video game store that VALVE owns and runs) , but you could also buy it in a bundle on Steam that includes Portal and Portal 2 for only 25 dollars! Very good game! And remember, The Cake is a LIE!!!!!

Have you played Portal? What did you think of it? Tell me in the Comments!

Portal 2 review coming soon!
