It's never too late to enjoy portal or any truly great game. I met a teenager a while back who was a Zelda fan and had recently played through the classics on the game cube compilation disc. Even though, as I explained to him, he wasn't even a twinkle in his momma's eye when I first beat TLZ

I played Portal 2 but not the first one. I don't really have a desire to try it though.

I just downloaded and played through portal1 this afternoon.
It was fun, but dang, 3 hours from start to finish (and I've never played either game before)
Kinda of disappointing. I thought I was finally getting out of a long level 1 and then credits roll...

That's why it *launched* at $20.

Portal 2 is two, maybe three times longer, and has co-op multiplayer. Go have fun.

Not only that, but 99% of the world got it as what basically amounts to a "freebie" in the orange box, and then all of a sudden it started dominating the lineup. No one was expecting it to be anything but a tech demo.

And then there were those of us who bought the Orange Box just for Portal :)

I still stand by my opinion that Portal is easily the most overrated game of all time.

It was cool at first, but the puzzles became annoying.

I haven't tried Portal 2 yet...I'm sure multiplayer would be fun. I'd like to see 2v2 portal deathmatch games, but I'm betting all the cooperative maps are puzzle based.

Well yeah they are, but you can aim a laser at your buddy or drop him into a pit in good fun.
