Anyone else played this exquisitely polished gem of a game? Echo clearly has, looking at his signature.
This game was absolutely the most fun I've had playing a game since the original Doom took Wolfenstien 3D and fleshed it out into a real game. That and maybe Qtest, the Quake test engine since it was the first first person shooter release to use a true 3D engine.
The creative puzzles were thoroughly enjoyable, with the physics being unique but predictable enough to allow you to get really good at it. The creepy solitude of the place was amazingly atmospheric. And, of course, there is GLaDOS who was nothing short of incredible. The dry humor was outstanding and the whole personality was very charming. Like the fixation on cake as a "reward" system - how great is that? Isn't that exactly what you'd expect an outsider to see as being a great piece of bait for a human, like cheese for a mouse?
Anyway, just wanted to see if any other monkeys were as enamored of this game as I was. If anyone hasn't played it, I'd highly, HIGHLY recommend it.
