Portal

The Story

GLaDOS was not the villain of Portal's original design — she was added late in development as a dry, mechanical testing-facility voice that would react to the player's progress. She became one of the most memorable characters in gaming. 'The cake is a lie' became shorthand for an entire generation's relationship with corporate deception. Portal proved that a first-person perspective could carry a puzzle game and a narrative simultaneously — and that a game could be three hours long and still be complete.
