Saturday night, before the flu laid me low for about thirty-six hours, I managed to finish off Half-Life 2 and Portal. Both had really strong endings, as you'd expect from two such breakthrough offerings. Portal definitely claims the title for Best Final Credits of a Video Game of any game I've ever played. The song performed by the sweet-but-psychotic artificial intelligence while the game maker's names appeared on the screen was absolutely hilarious!
Tonight, as I started to feel better, I got in an hour of F.E.A.R. playing on the PS/3 which was just enough to finish off that game, too. I could've done without all the weirdo hallucinatory scenes toward the end, but otherwise it was a great game.
So that makes three games wrapped up in three days, leaving only Halo 3 "in progress." At this rate, it'll soon be time to start a brand new game!
As much as I despise blog-whoring, I have a Jonathan Coulton playlist up on my site if you feel the urge for more of his music. And yes, it includes the Portal version of Still Alive.
ReplyDeleteI am so close to finishing Portal that my teeth are permanently grit. I suck at puzzle games, and I guess, by extension, logical thinking, but this one has a grip on me.
