I have talked with a lot of my male videogamer friends in order to find a game that they believed would be good for the presentation and final project. I’ve decided to go ahead with the recommendation of playing Portal. Although I haven’t started working on the game yet, I predict that I may have difficulty playing the game or getting through the game at an acceptable rate. I plan on remedying that problem by watching some clips of gameplay on youtube and also by watching some friends play the game in my dorm.
I think you’ve chosen a very interesting game for your final project, Carly, as Portal is chock full of surprises, secrets and messages. I think you’ll find yourself getting a hold on how the game progresses, as well as exercising the critical thinking/puzzle-solving parts of your brain. Just keep one thing in mind, that which is promised is not always given.
