Yep, no problem at all. Everything full settings constant 60+ FPS, even when folding in the background.

You have to remember it is still on the source engine, granted heavily modified, but it is still the source engine which is now very old and is optomised very, very well so doesn't need a whole lot to run, even though it is still beautiful graphically and gives some of the most realistic physics of any engine around.

Thanks for the review will get it after my exams otherwise will be hooked to it.
And god $60 is a lot to pay.
Thanks to all the piracy in India all the Game Devs have slashed their prices and the Original games are pretty cheap encouraging people to buy original games only.It is $13 here..HAHAHA. So I would gladly pay $13 for Portal 2.
HAHAHA.
And GTA IV was $10

Now if only piracy in the US was that bad :p Id love to buy games that cheaply vs waiting 3-4 years and HOPING they get that tamed lol.

Well what they need to do is make a map editor for portal series. Imagine how beneficial it would be if all those crazy modders could make custom maps. Then sit back and imagine how hard those maps would be vs what portal devs gave us. Sure some maps would be crappy but I seen the modding community on many games trump the original creators work. Morrowind is a perfect example of a modding community turning a good game into a great/memorable game.

Hammer - World Editor.

tl;dr, source engine (read: portal) map maker. :)

It certainly is showing its age with the amount of loading scenes though, I mean seriously! Practically 1 per room. But alas, it is a greatly optimized and wonderful engine. I run Portal 2 in eyefinity with 100+ fps constantly :).

Yea that was the only thing that ticked me off about the game. I liked it in Portal 1 where you would have a slight pause in the lift, but that was it, the rest was seamless and didn't stop for loading, except for the odd moment once you were out of the test chambers

I just got to Chapter 3. So far it has its ups and downs. I didn't care for the beginning part, but I am getting a kick out of the computer system insulting me after you start the test chambers.

What I found lacking from the start was GLaDOS, however I love Smerch :D

I gotta be honest I stole my buddies copy and I found Glados to be amusing once you find the "old" testing chambers. The dialog for that entire area made me laugh, especially the lemons portion of it :p Hope I made that spoiler proof enough haha. I wish they game was longer BUT its about 3x longer than the original.

Just got done playing it. It was definitely an awesome game.
I'm glad GLaDOS didn't kill me in the end :D

They really set the stage up for a Portal 3 it appears to me.

Too bad they didn't mention cake at all :(

@Twist: Combustible lemons lol :D

I doubt there will be a Portal 3, and I'm glad for it.Unless it is a prequel, there is no way they can carry it on, and I'm glad for it, I would hate to have such perfect games get ruined by a third title that makes it seem stale and like there is nothing new

I'd like to see them go deeper into the history of Aperture, it was getting interesting and left some things unanswered in detail.

The game was awesome, agreed. However I don't think Portal 3 will be coming out.

They didn't mention the cake because of the huge trend of "The Cake Is A Lie" that was started the first time.

I hope there is no Portal 3. Anything more would pretty much cause the world to explode. (And would just milk the series to a pathetic death, kind of like CoD 8...)
