Summary
Portal is a new single player game from Valve. Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and offers gamers hours of unique gameplay. The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation. Players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals to maneuvering objects, and themselves, through space. [Valve]

Portal, tucked neatly alongside four other games, outshines them all and ensures itself a place in posterity.

From beginning to end, it's hard to find something not to like about Portal. Everything from the gameplay to the presentation are top-notch.

Putting Portal into the Orange Box package was a great idea on Valve's part.
