Portal- Joseph

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.
