It was received by rave reviews all over the board. What was best about Portal was that it was almost equally good on all the three systems it was released on (Xbox 360, PS3, PC). It provided for a very unique and refreshing formula, driving the gaming industry forward with a boost of innovation and perfection. The game had practically no enemies at all, and all it concentrated on puzzles and platforming. Portal was a First Person Adventure game, much like the last generation’s beautiful title, Metroid Prime, and not a First Person Shooter. That game is Portal, Valve’s best title this generation. It was just a part of a compilation, but it was this very game that made that specific compilation, The Orange Box, what it is considered to be. One game that best exemplifies and personifies the perfection that all their games have boasted of this generation is a game that, originally, wasn’t even released separately. With games as spectcular as Left 4 Dead, Half Life and Counter Strike, Valve are practically invincible now.
ISIT THE SAME CHARACTER IN PORTAL AND PORTAL 2 PC
Today, in the time of High Definition, of Graphics, Halo, nothing, nothing at all beats Valve at PC games. Of course, Blizzard used to be totally invincible at a time- Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, and many others are till date regarded as some of the best PC games ever. Valve is probably the most exalted PC game developer in the market right now.
