HL2 Portal weighs in at 5gig & you can prob complete it in 2 days but I think the game is ACE :p a very good idea whereby you just use 2 portals throughout the game & shoot no-one.
eg. make a portal in 1 wall then make another portal in another wall/ceiling/floor & just walk between the 2 portals. The fun comes when you fall from a height into a portal then come flying out the other portal at speed :D
It stimulates the old grey matter ;)
Warning though, I watched someone play it for an hour & then felt really sick, just don't play it drunk :D
On an uber rig you can get 250fps at 16x AA :cool: but when looking into a depth of 9 portals it drops to 50fps :eek: if for eg. you decided put a portal in the ceiling above you then directly below you & just keep falling :p
Some screenies:
This sort of stuff can screw with your head:

This is actually the same object falling in & out of the portals, though I think its breaking a law of physics along the way :p :

I think it's good :) anyone know if it's possible to make custom maps etc? would extend the shelf life by a lot.
 
oh just shut up.

you probably dont like it because its too complicated for you :rolleyes:

Please, The hardest thing about the game (apart from putting yourself through the torture of playing it in the first place) is the end boss. And that was only hard because I didnt notice the ball thing that flew of it when I rocketed it and spent a minute or two running around wondering wth until I noticed it.

It should take a normal person 1-1:30 to complete. Anything more than that and you must *REALLY* be taking your time. I went everywhere I found looked in all the cake is a lie rooms and really explored every nook and cranny and it only took an hour.
