Portal was really cool! the idea of an alternate competing group vying for honours with black mesa does add a twist and maybe even bring half life and this together. if u recall during hl2 ep 2 they do mention the ship where portal re-search was done and how gordon freeman is to find the ship.

also the end title song was pretty neat.
