Review on Portal:

I knew it was a short game from readings on Wikipedia, but dang. It took longer to install the system requirements, video driver update, and the game itself than it did for me to reach Chamber 17.(out of 19...)

The puzzles are disapointingly easy. As such a hyped game, I expected it to be a bit more complex. However, it does take a few tries to actually execute the needed actions. So bonus for that.

The humor is good. Not nearly as funny as Darkened Skye, and that, also, was a bit dissapointing. Even though it doesn't match up to Skye, it's still got some darn funny bits. I find the signs particularly amusing.

The movement keys take a little getting used to. I like using the arrows on my keyboard, and using my left hand to control the mouse. I gave in and set it to default, though, and it seems to be growing on me.

Timing is key. I hate games where you have to time things perfectly. So far so good, but it's still annoying.

Overall, it's okay. Given the puzzles are much better in StarFox Adventures, it was worth trying out. That & I didn't actually buy it. My dad owed me money for buying Breanna's camera, so he bought that & called it even. I may or may not finish tomorrow. I have ADD, so when I can't get through a level within five minutes, I usually quit. Probably the only reason I still haven't finished the original Crash Bandicoot. >.> So..Portal's an okay game..one I might play more than once, but it was seriously overhyped.

Yeah..I'd like to get one in the future, but seeing as my PS3 won't play PS2 games(40 gig...>.<), a PS2 is next on my list. Possibly a new PSP, too, depending on how long it takes for the whole bloody thing to break....>.>

The new Spyro games? If that's the case..you're one of only about 3 people I've met that liked them. :/ The Insomniac days were the best. A Hero's Tail was okay. Seriously....Sierra screwed up Spyro big time, and they're not making it any better by making the movie. :/

Movie?  Do I even want to know how much of an abomination that will be?

Probably not. I read that it's going to be a theatrical release, but I hope not. :/

Sierra re-wrote Spyro's entire background, and are basically making it as though the other games never existed. No Hunter, no Gnasty Gnorc, no Ripto, and no dragon elders. Oh, save for the few elemental dragons. T_T So instead of Spyro being an accidental hero, as the original game implies, Spyro is now part of this ancient prophecy. Feh.

So I guess since Sierra's new games are a flop and are pretty much being boycotted by the original Spyro fans, they're trying to push it on us with the movie based on the new game trilogy. I don't care if Elijah Wood, David Spade, and Gary Oldman are voice-overs. It's. Just. Not. The. Same.

Yeah..I'm pretty ticked at Sierra. Don't even get me started on the new Crash games. >.<

Seriously. Don't screw with the classics. It really is starting to make me stop playing games, period. :/

now if they get him right, i'd love to see a spyro movie
but as for the games *sigh* yes... sierra did most definitely screw him up
but it's kinda cool that Elijah Wood voices him in the new trillogy (*posible bad spelling*)
i wish people would stop trying to freshen things up that don't need to be messed with

*long drawn out sigh*
but i can't not like spyro... so i just put up with it and complain on forums with people who feel the same way...

Actually, I'm pretty sure Spyro is from an independent developer.  I'd have to check to be sure, but...he's also shown up on various Nintendo platforms, so he's not their mascot, that's for sure.

Back in the good ol' days, Crash & Spyro were indeed huge Playstation promoters. Now they're just another game. >_<

Speaking of, I got Gex 3 in today. =D Forgot how much fun it was. x3
