Gametime: Portal 2

Portal 2 is a first-person puzzle platform game created and released by Valve Corporations. Portal 2 was announced on March 5, 2010. It was released on April 19, 2011 and is the sequel to Portal. The platforms for Portal 2 are Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. You may also buy this game on steam. It is the first Portal series to have a multiplayer feature and a single player. Portal two’s writer estimates that each game version takes about six hours.

I would rate this game a 10/10 for the good controls and the plot and humor.

We return to Aperture Science, a bit after we helped Chell destroy GLaDOS. The place is a bit… destroyed, and kind of falling apart; but the testing must go on! As Wheately tries to interact with Chell, he tells her the lab is in a state of emergency and he must help her get out. When they try to get out, however, they reactivate GLaDOS. Until Wheately helps Chell escape, GLaDOS subjects her to new tricks.

This game has the same controls and idea as the first, including much more complex puzzles. The main idea is to get out; GLaDOS not allowing it. So, naturally, Wheately finds a way to get out. However… it involves putting him into power of the whole lab and putting GLaDOS into a potato. That’s fine, right?

Until you find out that Wheately was a core that was made to intentionally be stupid and has complete control of a lab with deadly functions everything. That’s fine! Probably. He goes corrupt and you must put GLaDOS back, in hope that you are in two pieces while doing so. You and the potato—er, GLaDOS, must embark on a journey to save yourselves from an idiot core.

In the multiplayer version of this game, you play as two robots which have been put in place of Chell (revealed by GLaDOS.) You have to try and cooperate and both have separate portals for your guns.

It’s a good sequel, and I would definitely recommend this if not for anything but the puzzles. My favorite added function is definitely the multiplayer ability, as it can make for fun events that may include laughing most of the time instead of seriously playing.
