Sometimes, a lie isn’t really a lie at all, but rather an elusive prize from an overbearing, homicidal robot. If you haven’t guessed it already, I’m talking about Portal, specificallyPortal 2, and how it’s regarded as one of the best video games ever made.
WhenPortal 2burst onto theXbox, PlayStation, and PC with repulsion and propulsion gel, we were once again thrown into a world of brilliant chaos. Filled with puzzles, quirky characters, and the return of beloved GLaDOS (I don’t care that she’s out to get you, I love her), it filled the void that the originalPortalhad left behind. As Reddit user Blaquetoothexplains, the game had everything. “From the launch ARG, writing, voice acting, game play, progression, back story, to the ending. Even the co-op mode is outstanding. Easily a top 5 of all time.”

Hear! Hear! Knowing that the chances of Valve returning to this franchise to give us a new instalment is dwindling every day is a heavy burden to bear. Jake52212 mused “I do wonder if they’ll ever revisit it.Valveseems to be very limited in what they make these days and Glados’ VA is getting older.” Like the sands of an hourglass, time is slipping away from Valve if it intends to revive GLaDOS for another outing.

Many gamers joined to throw their support behindPortal 2, though I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that there were other strong contenders as well.
Star Wars KOTOR,Ocarina of Time, andBioshockwere all mentioned too, with plenty of players in support of them claiming the greatest video game title as well. What would you choose? Obviously,Portal 2, but what else would make it on your list…?
