Portal 2!

[Psychonaut]

Well the replay value was more in completing the challenges. which included some extra chambers, and some rather hard to perfect things.

Now one thing I hope they try to do is form a map making community, that would help, but honestly I liked picking portal up to play through it a few times after my first run through. It was just fun really, and I tried to see things I didn't before.

the challenges were hard.. and most of the puzzles were designed so that there were alternate solutions.. but still, unless there's something that changes from one play to the next, i doubt the co-op will be as good as l4d or tf2.. which it will no doubt be compared to, even though it's an entirely different game.

Yeah. Next to Luigi's Mansion, Portal 1 was the game I played through the most. The whole game mechanics is just an awesome experience.
On top of that, it's fun playing it on the PC then spawning a jeep + impulse 101. I threw one of those antlion controller things in a Portal and made it go into constant freefall and get stuck. I also once bound a key to spawn a jeep and kept spamming it until it said I lost connection to my server in Portal.
I wonder what awesome dev codes will be available in Portal 2 beyond what is offered now.

i'm gonna guess there will be some kind of cross-promotional item.. some time down the road, if not at launch..
but for now, it's all in the potato sack.

(including a bunch of exclusive pre-release content, tied into the ongoing portal 2 arg.. lolpotatoes)
