Long back in 2004 or 2005 I remember playing cave story. At that time I was pretty hooked to it and in coming years I went on playing different genres. And then I went accentuating myself to more games with harder gameplay, deep stories. " Longest journey " is one such game .
Although I remained a oldschool wolfenstein or doom fan. I took time to go for Bioshock. As I paralleled into many fps games I always preferred halo or half life to be a nice cut above. And back again in controversial intermediate years after some stellar explosions after 1st year ended. I thought to go back play cave story once again. Once I started playing cave story again I realized how beautiful and stunning those games were. There was no measure to amazement when I noticed depth of characters and narration or gameplay everything was so well placed. So when I contrasted some games from now to then I found out how badly they suck. Again back in summer I purchased the Orange box of valve. I knew about half life but never cared about portal .
But under some weird circumstances I got to play portal 2. That was also weird because I watched a movie by j.j.abrams (super8). In Wikipedia I saw that they marketed the movie also through portal2. So I thought to play it any way. After that I did not understand portal 2 because I never played portal. So I retreived orange box and couldn't hold the thrill anymore.
When I completed portal I was shocked by the puzzling gameplay. The thrilling commentary of a unknown person (later told it is gladdos). And unmatched thrill when player is sent into incenarator. And finally facing HER. The thrilling 5minutes of the ending. The sweet song after ending. Portal is a masterpiece in the orange box.
