So. Shiny.

No resemblance to Lara Croft at all.

I've never played the game. Is it good?

Did you ever play the Half-Life games? Much like those, Portal 1 and 2 are great. First Person Shooter, but in puzzle form, so no shooting weapons, only portals. Very smart games.

The Portal games are funny, intelligent, and just plain fun. If you even have a passing interest in videogames, they're an absolute must-play.

Plus, they're old enough that they'll run amazingly well on a toaster, but they still look great even by today's standards, thanks in part to the overall design and how very effective the Source engine was at the time. Almost any Source-based game has aged well.

The comparison to Half-Life doesn't really work other than they're both first-person games and take place in the same shared universe, storyline-wise. Half-Life has some puzzle elements but is way more about combat, whereas Portal is a straight-up puzzle/strategy game.

Nice. Will check it out. Thanks, guys.

Stephen Merchant and JK Simmons in Portal 2 are still some of the funniest parts in video games ever.
