Portal 2

Pros
  • Crazy puzzles
  • Much longer story
  • Best scripting ever
  • Stunning co-op
  • Steamworks on PS3
Cons
  • None
Score
  • 10/10
Note:
I started this on PS3. I completed the co-op and started on the single player. When I got very close to the end, the PS3 yellow light appeared. From there, I downloaded the Steam version on Mac and the completed it from the beginning on Mac. So this is a dual review.
