I have none but i'm bored so I figured I would get this inevitable thread started.

You may begin, you Monsters!

It is absolutely brilliant. With Valve's track record, expectations were already astronomically high, and somehow it met and shattered them. The puzzles are excellent, the jokes are hilarious, and the animations are so beautiful you could swear it was a Pixar movie. It easily outmatches Portal 1 (which is still an awe-inspiring game), and I would recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor and patience for mind-bending puzzles.

Fucking brilliant. Thank god they focused on the humour, not since the original monkey island series has humour felt so natural and memorable (SPOILERSPOILERSPOILER Calm jazz music!! SPOILERSPOILERSPOILER)

I'm sure some short sighted idiot will come marching in and mouth off at the utterly optional store, how it 'detracts' from the product or the game is too 'short'. If you think a game that gives you so many pleasant memories is 'short' then stop counting quality in numeric terms.

A huge, huge bonus are the performances, incredible, all of them.

I loved every single second. A few chambers are frustrating, but you get through it and feel awesome when you do.

Very Pixar like in the fluid and vivid personification of the characters, too. I wouldn't be surprised if someone from Pixar worked on the game.

Well here we are again, it’s always such a pleasure.

Basically the game is great. It's Portal 1 only grander, longer and has more variety. It had a lot to live up to and it managed it with flying colours.

I got it the cheapo slightly delayed version from Amazon ($35 with shipping) so I'm waiting a few days.... anticipation makes it worth it! I hope

I'm looking forward to getting this FOR THE PS3 LOL

The singleplayer is simply magnificent. I only managed to get to play 5 minutes of the co-op but the mechanics work extremely well. Problems with communication and teamwork? There are none. Although it looks rife for some casual griefing.

Valve have outdone themselves once again.

Beat the single player (playing co-op later).

Definitely lived up to the insane amount of hype I got from the ARG and general advertising. Now we just need Episode 3.

Man, all you people who've beaten it already. Am I the only one who plays games for like an hour at a time, maybe 90 minutes?

Anyway... Release day delivery was 99cents dude.

50 bucks was orange box but we got TF2, portal and Ep2 which was also 8 hours.

Since i don't play multiplayer games at all anymore will be waiting for 10-15 bucks deal. Paid that much for Mirror's Edge which was similar length and was appropriate price.

I am not rich enough to throw away 50 bucks on a 8 hour game. Happy to hear that those eight hours are great tough.
2012 christmas will be fun.

Agreed.

My problem is not the money (though I'm not one to throw it away either). Is the "Oh my God! I still have soooo many unplayed games!"

I'm with you. Though for me it is more because Portal lacked replay value. Especially the beginning, I hate tutorials. Great for learning, but it means that once you want to replay you have to go through it AGAIN. And being a puzzle game means during a second playthrough you already know what to do. There are no more puzzles to solve.

Depends if you're into the developers commentary or not. Anyone who does enjoy that sort of thing might class that as re-play value I suppose. Maybe more of a bonus though, although one that has you playing through the game again.
