First one was great but short. Was originally a tech demo that got turned into a full game.

2 is just beyond fantastic. Writing was taken up a few notches, considerable longer, and it looks surprisingly good for a game on this old of an engine. Fun co-op levels. I'm assuming you're on console. Not sure if it was made available to them, but there is a level creator for the PC. A lot of user created levels to go through.

Both are quite good.

Nice concise story in the first one. Don't skip the credits.

The puzzles are more interesting in the second.

And GLaDOS is fricking hilarious.

quote:

GLaDOS: There was even going to be a party for you. A big party that all your friends were invited to. I invited your best friend, the Companion Cube. Of course, he couldn't come because you murdered him. All your other friends couldn't come, either, because you don't have any other friends because of how unlikable you are. It says so right here in your personnel file: "Unlikable. Liked by no one. A bitter, unlikable loner, whose passing shall not be mourned. Shall NOT be mourned." That's exactly what it says. Very formal. Very official. It also says you were adopted, so that's funny, too.

Cave Johnson was a nice addition to 2.

They're fun but will make you feel dumb.

A huge treat. I replay the 2nd one every 6 months or so. The ending to the 2nd one has really grown on me and I like it more than the ending in the 1st one.

Is there one publication whose GotY award is held in higher regard than others? AFAIK most games have some claim to GotY from some publisher.

"I've got some advice from the boys down in the lab for those of you who got covered in the repulsion gel" *paper rustling* "Do not get covered in the repulsion gel. We haven't entirely nailed down what element it is, but it's a lively one and it doesn't like the human skeleton."

Cave Johnson: All these science spheres are made out of asbestos, by the way. Keeps out the rats. Let us know if you feel a shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough, or your heart stopping. Because that's not part of the test. That's asbestos.
