Portal: prelude = fanmade levels of portal. Pretty well done appearance-wise, and, they say, storywise. However, I'll never see any of it because of the insane duck jumps accurate to a pixel you have to do to get past the second level.

So what exactly is the deal with Portal: Still Alive? Other than it being an XBOX Live Marketplace game.

I really wish they had released still alive last year. I played the demo last night, and if you've played through the original game, it's overpriced. Not to mention you've already done half the achievements already.

Yeah, and zapping portals in the wall is a pretty creative game mechanic, and it makes for a really good puzzle game.

Not to mention the hilariously menacing Aperture Science facility complete with a megalomaniacal homicidal central computer.

Any game can be boiled down into some inane set of actions. If that's all you get out of Portal, that sucks, because its a really cool game.
