Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I think I saw G-Man but I can't remember which part it was. Wheatley(The robot) was talking about everyone else being dead and you were the only test subject left. Wheatley was already in Glados's body at that part. I saw a human figure on a catwalk but it walked into the door before I could really see it...


I saw something like that as well, but I'm certain the thing I saw was one of the co-op robots. Could that be it?

Maybe, that is what I think he was talking about at the time.
I must say, the ending took me completely off-guard.

I loved it. Finished the sp campaign on the first night. Each time I'd say "just one more chamber", but it never happened. The writing is fantastic, the gameplay is so much fun and even the aging source engine looks pretty good in places. The animators deserve an Oscar, because wheatley, the co-op robots and even the wall panels are animated with a level of personality that Pixar would be proud of.

Co-op was also a blast.I lost count of the number of genuine "hell yeah!" moments.

If I had a complaint it would be that I was hoping for [spoiler]a more tangible connection to the Halflife universe and possibly even a hint for HL3. Yes I saw the dry dock, but I was hoping that when the ending sequence elevator reached the surface, we'd see some kind of continuation of the HL story (i.e. a combine ravaged world)[/spoiler]

you didnt make the connection?

grain -> combine harvester. The entire world is grain and now the combine can harvest to their hearts desire.
Portal 2 deserves every accolade it gets. Animation was superb, the voice acting was at the highest standard and the content was rich and joyful. The puzzles were well made and enticing and game length felt just right. As far as story goes it was well written and each twist was well-made (which is way more important than anything else, including surprising the player).

A worthy successor. Now where's my Cooperative Testing Initiative?
