Out of the Blue - Blue's News Story

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has some games that they keep going back to. In my cases a couple of them are unusual. I was checking out something on my PC the other day so I loaded the original Portal, one of my favorite games of all time. Puzzle games aren't that suited to replayability, but I ended up getting drawn in and playing through it yet again. It's obviously not as challenging when you remember most of the puzzle solutions, but the environment, game mechanics, storytelling, and jokes still make for a very entertaining experience every time I revisit that game. I will almost certainly follow up by playing Portal 2 again, so I'll say hi to Cave Johnson for you.
