Portal 2



This is the latest game we've been playing. The idea is that you are trying to escape from a vast factory/laboratory where you are an unwilling test subject in intelligence experiments. You have a portal gun which fires 2 shots. The first makes a blue circle appear on any white surface and the second makes an orange one. Walk through one, and you come out the other moving at the same speed. It's really good fun playing with the physics of it. If you want to shoot out of a portal and fly across a gap, you figure out a way of falling into the opposite portal at great speed, etc.

We have yet to play the 2 player version, but I give the 1 player 2 enthusiastic thumbs up. A flash demo of the game developed years ago is available here and it is good craic - Portal
