~ And the Gamer Goes Round and Round / And He Comes Out Here ~

Joshua gets a mind-bending no-prize for bringing us this first look at Valve's add-on game for Half Life, Chapter 2. Called "Portals", it introduces what has to be one of the more interesting "weapons" I've ever seen in a shooter: a gun that creates wormholes that hook one surface to any other surface, regardless of actual location.

I dunno about this one. I tend to be in the "blast them all, let God decide" camp, so subtle solutions to elegant puzzles are often lost on me. Still, definitely something to look for.

I dunno, I like games where I have to think... it gives me more of a sense of accomplishment than games which require nothing more than maintaining good health and a supply of ammo.

However, I also expect some sort of reward for solving a puzzle, which puzzle games almost never provide. More difficult puzzles don't count as a reward. I want either a story, or explosions.

Or a parade.

Or tits. Tits on parade would be ideal. And if you beat the game, you should get an exploding parade of tits, as part of a story. That would rock.

Nope. Not me. Though I am a big fan of teh b0obies. More games and shows should have them. The history of cement, as seen next to bo0bies. Great show, that.
