Let's get some good dialogue going on definitely one of the best games of the year.

Namely, let's have some exchanges of strategies for conquering the challenges as well as the advanced maps. For instance, how the **** do I get off the third platform in the 6th challenge map?

I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Yes but Prey lacks psychotic AI computers - so it loses. Badly. :p

Plus the portals in Prey are essentially exotic door. The portals in Portal are dynamic.

The technology is essentially the same, though. Prey's engine can do that too, they just didn't for the purposes of the singleplayer. There's been mods out for a while that allow this.

But yes, as much as I liked Prey, Portal's definitely the classier game. I haven't tried the challenges yet though. Still working my way through the advanced chambers.

i liked prey even more for its gravity effects, of course i didnt pick up the game untill it had already made the bargain bin and noone apears to be on any multi servers. frankly id perfer a good single player game any day. i only buy top of the line multi games to see how the technology was progressing. preys still the last game i was impressed with, quakewars and the new ut seem to leave something to be desired.

Lol, your picture = win.  Enjoy your win while we all marvel at how much you won.
In my world of sleepers, everything will be erased.
I'll be your religion, your only endless ideal.
Slowly we crawl in the dark.
Swallowed by the seductive night.

That made me laugh. In fact, I nearly took a trip on the roflcopter.

  
Funny, but it doesn't beat:
