Portal. 

This time I’m going to write about Portal, this is a video game developed by Valve Corporation, you can play it in different platforms like a computer, an x box or a play station. It’s a single player game (most of it, recently they release Portal 2, that have a co-op option for two players). The objective of the game is to solve puzzles and platforms with teleportation, you use a “portal gun”, this fire two different “doors” (blue and orange portals) and this are connected, so, you can shoot the wall on the left with orange, and the wall on the right with blue, and if you go inside the portal on the left, you’ll come out from the portal of the right, and vice versa. This gameplay brings you a lot of different options, like reach high places or use the gravitational force to make long jumps.

This game it’s really famous not just because of the gameplay, but the story and it’s looks. The esthetic of the game it’s really clinical and clean, with a lot of white and then it looks really apocalypse-like; the story it’s about you getting tested in some kind of scientific program by a robot named GLaDOS (Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System), at first you are not really sure if it’s testing your intelligence or your ability to manipulate the portal gun, besides, she has a really dark and sarcastic humor, she promises you a prize (the cake) if you complete all the test chambers, but in the way to that, you realized that actually they are killing and manipulating people, in fact you can see the sentence “the cake is a lie” in a secret room. When you complete the final test GLaDOS tries to kill you, in the end you have to defeat GLaDOS, and when the credits are rolling, she sings of how cruel you are, and the last picture is the cake with burning candles.
