Portal is a game where you must solve puzzles using portals that objects, including yourself, can go through. It was made by Valve, a company based in Australia. The thing that makes Portal unique is that it combines a first person shooter with a puzzle solver.
Plot
The story is that you're in a testing facility owned by the company Aperture Science, testing a gun that creates portals. The only problem is that the computer that controls the facility (called Glados) went rogue and killed everyone that worked there except for the test subject (you). So obviously your objective is to destroy it.
Puzzles
The first few tests are easy to solve but they do get hard very fast. To make it even harder there are many obstacles, most of which can kill you, such as turrets and acid pools.
Replay ability
The game itself isn't that big. In fact there are only nineteen levels. However the later stages are very hard. The problem with puzzle solving games is that once you solve all the puzzles there really isn't any point to play it again. There are a few extra levels though.
I would recommend this game to people who like a challenge.

Minecraft- by Joseph
Minecraft is an indie sandbox game that was created in May of 2009 and has become very popular. It was created by Markus Persson (commonly referred to as Notch) and his company Mojang AB. It is currently in its beta version and is to be released as a full game in November 2011.
Plot
There isn't much in the way of story yet but what there is so far is this:you wake up on a beach and you have nothing.
Game play
When you start a new game it's sunrise and basically your goal is to gather enough resources to build a small house before nightfall,but if you don't manage to do that then you're in for a fight because night is when monsters come monsters come out .Once you do have a house you can then go explore cave,the reason you want to is to get better materials such as iron and diamond!
Nether
The Nether is an alternate dimension basically a Minecraft hell .As the name suggests it's not a fun place,however you can get some cool materials there.
Different Ways to Play
Like all games there is always a way to change the game play .If you do want a break from the standard
there's many texture packs to change the way it looks and mods (which is short fr modifications) to change and add things to the game.
Multiplayer
You can also create and on servers with other people.
I would recommend this game to anybody.
