OMG!  I do not want to say anything that will take away from the experience of completing the game (for those that haven't already done so), but I will say that Testchamber 19 was one of the best single levels of any video game that I have ever played.  I had managed to shield myself from any potential spoilers, so the entire experience was a blast for me.  If you have soured on Portal for some reason, but haven't finished it, do yourself a favor and finish the basic game.

Normally, after a full week with a new game, I can give the game a pretty through review.  However, with everything packed into The Orange Box (plus its Weds release and some really interesting football this weekend), I can really only give my initial impressions.  I rented this game because I wasn't sure if it was something I wanted to drop $60 on, but I went out and purchased the game yesterday.

This weekend includes one of those college football games that you really have to watch, even if you aren't interested in the teams.  There are a handful of these games (Alabama-Auburn, Notre Dame-USC, Army-Navy, to name a few), but the biggest for me is OU-Texas.  I was born and raised in Oklahoma and Sooner football is almost a religion in Oklahoma.  Growing up, I remember stores closing on Saturday afternoons when OU was playing a big game against Texas or, more often, against Nebraska.  Since the Big XII came into existence, the OU-Texas game has become much more significant since it is

The following is a video review of the "Greatest Game Ever" that I am courageous enough to say that I agree with (I did play the first two, but still found the story so confusing that, even after "finishing the fight," I have no clue what happened). The only thing that I would add is that the MP, which Yahtzee doesn't give a flying crap about, is not as much fun as everybody seems to insist that it is. Due to the popularity of this game, even in my Gears of War clan, I am sure that I will be flamed for this opinion, but H3's MP can't hold a candle to Gears's MP.

I rented The Darkness and finished the single player last night.  I didn't play the MP at all, so my review is based exclusively on the single player campaign.
