GamerLive.TV Portal 2 Review
When Valve released the Orange Box, they viewed the inclusion of Portal as a bit of a risk. A game that involved shooting a blue portal and an orange portal, a cake, an adorable cube with a heart in the middle, quirky little sentry turrets, and an annoying computer voice would take off to such great heights. And while an FPS where your only “weapon” is a Portal gun and you solve logic puzzles was certainly unorthodox, that unorth. The original Portal, originally a concept by students at DigiPen has become part of the Valve family franchises that includes Left 4 Dead, Half-Life and Team Fortress 2. But, it was that kind of unique style of gameplay that set Portal apart and made it the must-play title in the Orange Box compilation that came out in 2007.
