The first Portal game was fresh and exciting because it, well, made us think with portals. Using the laws of physics to do stuff like this is what made the first game popular; and while the shock factor of portals is long gone, the new physics gimmicks (air currents and liquids able to pass through portals and the physical effect-inducing paints) just makes me shudder in excitement.
It's games like this that truly push the limits to what games (and creativity or insanity) can do. Bending the laws of physics is fine and dandy, but just imagine creating our own laws of physics. Imagine the portal guns not only be able to connect space but also connect time. Also imagine fighting games that use portals. The possibilities are endless.
I'm hoping VALVE aren't go screw up like with Half-life 2 Episode 3 ... The last Chapter of Gorden FREEMAN's story ( that's a name that has changed Games History - a real ICON, EMBLEM in Gaming) has been comming out a couple of years now ... and most likely we'll never see it ( just like Duke Nukem Forever LOL )
I hope Portal 2 doesn't follow the other 2 games mentioned above :P
