That's right, next week you can buy "Portal: Still Alive" on XBLA. I haven't been this excited about an arcade game since Cyberball. Of course, I was terribly disappointed by Cyberball's lack of online multiplayer but there's no way in the world Portal will be a disappointment. Why? Its freakin' Portal, that's why. Its just one of those games you have to get, even if you have it on another system...or if you love the game and are an Achievement whore like me. Just buy it and you can thank me later.
