Now you just got me more excited. Given my daily schedule I think I'm still forced to wait for Christmas vacation to try it out. I guess we know what'll be under my tree :) Argh.

It's fairly short (19 chapters - the early ones are short and some of the later ones are very long) but very good - There are advanced maps and extra challenges once the main game is complete and I haven't had a go on them yet. As well a being great fun, it has a very unusual atmosphere which adds an extra later of fascination to it. I bought this as part of the Orange Box and haven't actually got around to playing Half Life 2 Episode 2 yet - Portal sucked me in. The in game directors commentary is well worth a listen to - that adds a fascinating insight in to the making of the game. After playing Portal, I want more Portal!

The hype for this game is actually pretty unbelievable (er, I think it was this game). If my computer can handle it, I'm sure going to try it out. Wow, looks great!

Well, at least until a few months ago when I finally got over my addiction to Katamari. But this.... Damn it, Hrafn! This promises to destroy any free time I may have. There goes my writing. Alas, there doesn't seem to be a Linux version. Guess I'll have to use my wife's laptop. For too long I have been away from the game scene.
