This is easily one of the best recent games, and best of the current generation. Portal throws the player into a world where one can shoot an orange portal and a blue portal, and travel between the two. This allows for the most fun mechanics you'll ever have in a game. "Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out." Simple quote, enormous consequences for the physics of player movement.

You can launch yourself across horizontal distances with huge vertical leaps, fall for thousands of feet, and pick up crazy little droids that are really funny to listen to. This has a great, simple story of a droid gone crazy that drives the plot to its climax. There are complicated puzzles and traps that give you an aneurysm for minutes on end. All in all, it's a short, simple game that will leave you wanting more and we can hope there is more on the way.
