Portal

This was a triumph.

I am making a note here... huge success. Its hard to overstate the awesomeness that is Portal. Whether you enjoy solving puzzles, or a ROFL here and there Portal is the game that you need to be playing.

Even Zero Punctuation had nothing bad to say about it! Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, who is legendary on the internet for being able to tear apart any video game no matter how good it is, said... and I quote.... "I can't think of any criticism for it, I am serious, this is the most fun you will have with your PC until they invent a force feedback codpiece."

If you have not played this game, do it. You could also buy the entire Orange Box pack, which includes Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode One, Half Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2... but frankly what you really want is Portal.

The second best part? Its only ten bucks.

The third best part? You can get it for just about any platform, and does not require a powerful gaming computer.

Don't forget to stick around for the credits, where you will be treated to a song written by TWiT's favorite musician, Jonathan Coulton. :)
