I think the last puzzle game I played was Little Big Planet and I loved that.

Damn it. I want to get this for the PC and not Xbox but having 2, 3 month old kids means I can't even get near my PC. Might have to bite the bullet and buy it for Xbox.Ugh. Played Portal 2 until 2:00 AM this morning.

It has a storyline, sort of. It's got some good humor. And yes, puzzles.I heard madshot say last night that he read around 9 hours single player play time. If you are unfamiliar with the game (didn't play portal 1), then probably more I would guess.

I don't know how long it is. I'll let you know when I finish.
Seriously, this is a spoiler. Don't read it if you don't want to know anything...
I am NOT kidding.
GLaDOS is very funny.

I thought I was close to being done...and then found out I most certainly wasn't. I really like the change in surroundings that occur at what seems is about halfway through. Cool atmospherics.

Thats kind of like the first game. You thought you were done all the stages and she was going to kill you, then the real game seems to begin.

The first Portal had to be the best game ever in terms of blending puzzles, action and just crazy humor. Loved it.

We do what we must because we can. I'm really glad I played the original this past weekend. Great game, and Portal 2 is probably funnier if you know the backstory.

I have a copy of Portal 1 to gift on Steam for anyone that doesn't already have it. Let me know.

Post or PM me your Steam information (just enough information that I can find and add you as a friend. I don't need your password or anything). I have a meeting in a 30 minutes have to prepare for, so I probably won't get to it before then. If no one else calls by then, it's yours.

Are they still giving away the free P1 with P2 purchase?
SlaX
Footballguy
I think that was only the pre-order deal. Let me check real quick.... Steam still mentions "Pre-purchase includes a free copy of Portal", so you may still get it. It's not a pre-purchase anymore, though, so I dunno. I don't know why they'd keep it on there if not. You don't get $5 off now.

I'll take a steam copy of Portal 1 if somebody else already had it when they purchased Portal 2. Keys posted in here first so I wouldn't want to take Slax's copy over him.

I guess you can get Portal 2 for PC for free after Amazon credit.
Good luck to anyone who wants to do it...

I am game to partner up with anyone that wants to get it for the PS3. I need it for PC. The only potential problem I am guessing is access to my Steam account?

Played a few hours of coop last night. What a world of fun that is. The ping tool was a great addition.
Once it got to be about 1 in the morning the suggestions on how to solve certain rooms were getting ridiculous.

Played P2 for about 2 hours last night and I was absolutely blown away by it. First of all I had zero idea that it was just a game of trying to get out of different rooms, secondly I was amazed at how dumb I felt in the first few training areas. Having never played the first Portal I was lost on how the portals worked. I can not wait to get deeper into this game. I had to quit on a room that had air cylinders throwing me from one platform to another trying to catch a box in mid air. It was totally unexpected when I got to it. BIG 
for this game.

The thing that amazes me is how your mind adapts to the rules of the game. I played the first game, but when I first started watching my daughter play the second, I couldn't grasp WTH she was doing.But then you start playing and your mind switches to problem solving mode and it's almost...subconscious. Extremely interesting.Played P2 for about 2 hours last night and I was absolutely blown away by it.

I'm going to be looking for a Co-op partner on the PC starting Monday or Tuesday night. I won't be able to play through the whole campaign in one or two sittings, so somebody who wants to take a leisurely pace would be best! I imagine Slax will have been through it about 4 times by then.

Pretty sure this game will determine which friends of mine are smart and which ones are gonna go on the dummy list.

I remember a comic my mom cut out of a newspaper from around 1987 that was exactly like that. I remember arguing with her that there are Nintendo Councilors (I don't don't how many of you may remember the Nintendo Hotline. I never used it, but I remember seeing the ad in Nintendo Fun Club/Nintendo Power all the time). Back then, I didn't even think about the prospect of beta testers, game designers, game reviewers, etc. Just people who sat there playing games all day waiting for you to call them asking for help getting past the level 8 boss. Ah, fun times.

What you need to do is get the best of both worlds - become self-employed in a profitable business where you have your own office, outfitted with a sweet gaming rig, so you can game as you have a few moments throughout the day

Finished Portal 2 co-op with Worm last night. Fantastic game and it took about 7 hours with us never getting stuck longer than 5 minutes or so on some of the harder end puzzles. The difficulty level was great. It wasn't to hard and frustrating or to easy once you got past the initial areas. We never had "trust issues" as some may have, but we sure as hell had accidents that killed one or both of us. Also many hilarious fails that we thought would work but then launched, droped, pushed, zoomed, or bounced us into meat grinders(literally), vats of acid, endless pits, 17 shooting bots, or into walls continuously making a giant thudding sound. There are a bunch of puzzles that after you get done doing them your like, "that was awesome!!."

I haven't gotten a chance to start on the co-op yet. I can't wait. I'm available tonight if anyone on Steam/PS3 side wants to go.

I am very curious how well PS3/PC co-op goes - if there are issues or it is pretty seamless?

I don't have Portal 2, but I beat the first game and it's definitely not boring. Weird, probably. But it's mindbendingly fun. It's also interesting to see people's youtube solutions for certain levels. Gamers come up with some really creative paths to get through stages.
