I honestly don't know whether you'd consider it worth $50. I think just about everything good from the first game carried over. So many lines are instantly quotable, and I'm sure they're going to plague the internet for the next few years.
Have you seen the trailers and videos that came out before Portal 2 was released? A lot of new devices and game elements have been added. It's not just portals, boxes, and buttons anymore. It's not just new Portal maps, it really is Portal 2.
I'm not a guy who buys every interesting-looking $50 game and then decides it's worth it as long as they're at least "okay" or "average". Instead I usually play old games (Age of Mythology from 2002; Medal of Honor Allied Assault from 2001), and get a new one every now and then. Portal 2 was worth it to me (especially since I preordered and saved $5
). The single player is longer, and then there's a co-op mode.
If you're not sure, then wait for the price to come down. It's better to play it and then wish you'd gotten it sooner than to wish you hadn't wasted the money.

Agreed. As masterful as Portal was, I'd rather wait for a price drop. *NM*

Stating that it seems overpriced to her != a "holier than thou" attitude.

Bulletstorm is single-player + coop only and sold for $60. What do you want?

Given that short review, I'd say anyone buying Bulletstorm is being severely ripped off.

To be fair, it's my opinion of the BS (hah) demo. A case of interesting gimmick + bad execution.

If it's as long as Portal 1, then I completely agree

Thank you, Gher. And that last statement is kind of what I'd like to avoid
