Portal: Still Alive Details

By | July 20, 2008 | Xbox 360 |

Many 360 owners were excited when Valve announced at the Microsoft E3 press conference that we were getting an Xbox Live Marketplace version of Portal, the hit 2007 PC title that developed a rabid following.

When it was first announced, all we got was GLaDOS (the computerized artificial intelligence that directs, or should I say misdirects the player.) announcing that some sort of portal related game was coming, when Valve’s Doug Lombardi (VP of Marketing) was questioned however, it was all explained.

Portal: Still Alive is a standalone version of the original Portal that can be purchased through the Xbox Live Marketplace. In addition to the original game, it also features a number of levels that are not part of the main story arc, and therefore do not include story elements like the GLaDOS voice-over.

The game will be exclusive to Xbox Live Arcade, with the additional levels consisting of officially certified levels that have been pulled from Portal: The Flash Version MapPack, a map pack of levels inspired by Portal: The Flash Version.

So there you go, if you already have The Orange Box, then it’s probably not going to be worth the extra expense of re-purchasing the game again.

    As long as the price of entry isn't too expensive, I would be more than willing to buy the game and run through it again.

    Yeah it certainly depends on the pricing, they haven't specifically said it's an Xbox Live Arcade title, they've just said it will be delivered on the marketplace, so I'm not sure whether the 1600 point limit still stands.

    i don't own the orange box but i did beat portal. i might still buy this tho because it was great fun and why not play it again.

    I am not sure if this game will be exactly like it was in Orange Box(same graphics etc) or will it be a 2D flash game or something.

    If this is priced at either 800 or 1000 MSP, I'll get it. For 1600 though, I can do without. I did love the game though. :D
