So here we are again. Portal 2.

Firstly, let me apologise for this not being in our usual format. With it not being a full/large game, how much can one say?

To celebrate the release of the free DLC, Valve also offered Portal 2 at a lowly sum of £9.99 for a couple of days in the midweek madness deal on Steam. Magic for anyone that hadn't yet bought it! After waiting for a couple of days for a partner to come along and play with me, I jumped straight in to the game and promptly threw myself in to some acid. You're a robot that makes hilarious noises. It has to be done...
