-Portal
Gameplay:
Be warned: I did not play this game. My brother did, but I basically watched the whole thing, and played a little, so I get the idea. Okay, back on track: The gameplay is like a whole bunch of puzzles that you have to figure out. Some are easy, but most are hard. It can take you maybe three hours to complete the whole game, but professionals can complete it in about fifteen minutes. It's fun to try to figure out the puzzles, but only when they don't hurt your brain.

Story:
I really liked the story. You are a person who is sent through a bunch of different tests using a portal device. Someone is helping you along the way, (spoilers), but you never see them until the end when you destroy them in a big boss battle. The ending was about as long as the whole game, which is really cool. The end credits is the sole reason to buy the game (not really, but they're pretty awesome).
8/10
Graphics:
The graphics are surprisingly good. The game is made by Valve, who made Left 4 Dead. And although L4D came out after Portal, Portal has better graphics. The lights and shadows are really good, and everything looks great. They have a really good engine, called the Source Engine, and it works great with Portal.
9/10
Replay:
Because you've already solved all of the puzzles, the replay isn't too good. There are other modes, and you may try to beat some records, but overall, it's solving the puzzles the first time that really works with it.
5/10
Total: 39/50
Awesomeness %: 78%
Recommend? This game is good. It got a 78%, which is good, but this isn't an FPS. It's a puzzle game, so if you go into it thinking it's an FPS, it sucks. But if you're a fan of puzzle games, this game is for you.
