This is fun. I just tried the flash game. Looking at some of the Youtube vid's, this is something I think I would love to play.

I know I know... when you have a little girl some of the cool games just start to fade from view. I have been stuck playing Mario, Spongebob and Barbie games.
How long has this been out?

Anyway, what is the best platform for this game? I have a PC, a DS (Pink - my daughters) and a Wii.

Its been out for quite a while now boo, i cant remember exactly how long, but ti was certainly out in 2007.

As for platform, id go for PC, im not even sure if its available on any other platforms.

you can get the pc verson of the game from valve's download sevice, steam.
its also available for the Xbox 360 as far as i know.
there is also a bunch of easter eggs for the flash version, go to http://www.wecreatestuff.com for more on that.

PC is probably the best version of the game in general. I am partial to the 360 version myself (though I normally don't like first person shooters on the console).

i presume Halo is also an exception (though not 3, as that was rubbish)

Ok so I got Portal. I started it today and finished it today. Is that all there is? 19 levels and cake at the end?

I have not played half life or any other games that might be associated with it so go easy on my lack of knowledge of the subject.

I did look on youtube to see there are glitches, easter eggs and such. It just seems a shame for such a cool concept that that is all. Games like Myst which I really enjoy can take weeks or months. I feel kind of cheated. (Not that I have much time to play games anyway).

Thats pretty much it as far as the story goes, but you can do achievements and stuff. Have you tried the advanced levels boo? Maybe there is some more challenge for your super gaming mind there?

Hey Boo!
My son tried the Flash version today and got through 27 of the 40 levels before getting stumped. Perhaps you should try it and see how far you get...

Regards, Ross

Thanks Ross.

I actually got through level 37 during a couple lunch breaks a few weeks ago. Then I got the 3D version. I guess it is time to go back and finish those last few flash levels.

BTW I did a little searching and there will be a Portal 2, no release date yet but it is confirmed.
