I'm hesitating buying it, since it's $50 for a 5 hour game, but I assume someone here rushed out and bought it, and I don't trust most review sites. So, how is it?

I'm probably gonna end up buying it since I thought Portal was so much fun.

Yeah, I got it last night and played it a good deal.  It's just what you'd expect--black humor mixed with portal puzzles.  I haven't beat it yet, but I'm enjoying it.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Reviewers are saying it's one of the best games ever made. :unsure:

Still have a backlog of games.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Too expensive.

The first portal was great though I have been somewhat put off 2 by some fanmade prequel I played which was too hard. Silly I know, it has nothing to do with the portal team.
Maybe when the price comes down. Don't want to buy games new.

Bought it, played for a few minutes and was pleased that Stephen Merchant is by my side. This can only be good.

So yeah, this game is really really good. Playtime is about 7-8 hours. I hear the co-op campaign is another 3 hours, but PSN is still down and I can't play it.  :(

Finished this, and it's indeed good, the new mechanics are very entertaining. Also it's fun, brilliant voiceacting.  A little short for the price, though.
