Part of thing with Portal 1 is that they had a very limited budget - it was just kind of an experiment for Valve. In fact, they mostly used assets from the Half life series to make Portal.

Portal 2 is a full fledged developed game. Looks like they have made the puzzles fairly difficult, and amped up the interactivity.

So to answer your question, yes, there needs to be another Portal!!!

I'm going to have some cake...

Yes definitely! You can go back to playing Call of Duty 5345 while I play Portal 2, only the second game in a new type of genre.
Why doesn't it work?

...I find more menace and intimidation in that female, whimsical, sing-song computer voice than I do in any old disembowling, blood vomiting hellspawn you see in other games!

...CAN'T!! WAIT!! :mrgreen:

In case you haven't done so yet, play Portal I and just look at text or images in it, like the billboards when you enter the level :D

Done that, and loved 'em - but the stuff about the propulsion Gel had me in stitches...

I did... the gels seem quite sinister...

And the Pneumatic Diversity Vent was the funniest imo.
