And the end took me three tries, I had to look up where the second orb went, I just saw it fly off into the distance.

I loved placing portals high up, and sending turrets through them (that's how I got past that big room)

I got that puzzle immediately. I thought the game was pretty easy except for level 18 and 19. Those two were tough. It took me about an hour or so to get to level 18 and then another hour from there to beat the game (levels 18 and 19) which is testament to how tough the last two levels were.

But, even so, I thought the game was too short, considering it took me a total of 2 hours to beat the game. I beat GlaDOS on my second try (I was like 5 seconds from beating her on the first try).

Pretty sweet game though. I only bothered trying one of the advanced levels and just thought, "Gah. I don't need this level of stress."

I thought the game was just long enough. Any longer and I would have been frustrated to all hell.

Mainly because It was taking away from my Mass Effect time.

Get some of the custom maps if you want more. Generally they're ridiculously hard.

Still can't get Gold on some of these advanced maps! Gay.

Btw if you access the developers console and type:
sv_cheats 1

impulse 101

sv_cheats 0

Pressing enter after each, then you turned the cheats on, gave yourself all the weapons from Half Life 2, as well as the HUD, then turn them off (get 'CHEAT' come up when you finish bonus maps otherwise)! Fun to mess about with. You also get the Sprint ability (Shift), which is handy when you're just running about (esp. with the turrents since they're slower to lock on you).

Ftw, finally got Gold on all Achievements, 100% completed it now

Oh man, I need more maps! Friggin' great game, just wish the "sinister" part was about 3 times longer.

I can't get the 30k fall achievement for some reason. I tossed up two portals and fell for like 10 minutes and still didn't get it.

If you even barely touch the ground when falling, it will get reset. So, if you're falling and just barely grazing the sides of the portals, you'll never get the achievement. The best way to do it is to stand in one of those narrow areas where you can place portals on both the ceiling and floor. You place a portal on the ceiling directly above you and then the other color portal on the floor directly below you. If you leave your console alone for 10-15 minutes, you should get the achievement. I got it when I was talking to my girlfriend on the phone and I just created the two portals, let my character fall, and then I left the controller alone and let her faaaaaalll.

I thought you were playing the PC version, though. I didn't know you had a 360, Chris.

Naren, how do you know he's playing the 360 version?

I'm playing the PC version. It has achievements as well - they unlock once you beat it.

Achievements being an Xbox 360 only type of thing. Most 360 games on PS3 or PC do not have achievements on any system except the 360.

I guess them being on the PC version just means that you don't get points for them and maybe they're more likely just things for fun.

Interestin'. Do achievements on the PC have any point or value?
