I’d been looking forward to the release of Valve’s The Orange Box for Xbox 360 since, as a long time Mac guy, I’ve never played Half Life 2. Sacrilege, I know, and I do like a good story-based shooter. Had a quick go. Great so far.<\/p>\n
A few weeks ago, this review<\/a> singled out Portal for praise, and Yahtzee doesn’t give praise lightly<\/a>. So I rented it last night with a view to purchase, and played Portal from start to finish.

Rent it just for Portal (360, PC) if you’re not into first person shooters.
