I’m not really sold on the graphics, I don’t think I could stare at that screen for very long, and I think I would prefer a more inhabited world to play in, but then I’m no gamer. Still, its comparative lack of violence is a refreshing change for such a popular game, and I like that the guns they do have are not used for violence but to open portals.
The robots may not be able to shoot each other or inanimate objects, but they seem to be getting shot at quite a lot. Well I’ve half-heartedly watched about 90 minutes of game time now and I think he exaggerates slightly. My curiosity was first peaked upon finding out that one of the original programmers was a woman, and it spiked when my husband told me it was a game he’d happily play in front of our toddler, as there are no guns. It’s an interesting game from a layman’s perspective. After a few issues with an outdated sound card we are now up and running and jumping through, I guess the fabric of space and time? Or is it just space? So rather than become a Portal widow, I sit knitting, blogging and drinking tea, in a comfy chair by the side of our computer, while my husband plays co-op with his bff.
So when Portal 2 came out and money was tight, I “forced” him to buy it. The last time I played a video game on the PC it involved small mammals with green hair building bridges and blowing things up - does that date me? My husband on the other hand is an avid gamer, favoring games of the Myst variety but also enjoying things like Call of Duty.
