Vidya Games!
Since I haven't uploaded anything to my portfolio for over a week, I figured it was about time to use something that I've been sitting on for a while for just such an occasion; one of the video game reviews I wrote for my high school newspaper. In this case, my review of the illustrious and utterly fantastic Portal 2. I may upload a few of my other newspaper reviews and columns in the far future when I'm going through similar slow periods, but I'll try to keep them few and far between. I am supposed to be a fiction writer, after all.

Anyway, please enjoy my eighteen-year-old self's journalistic magnum opus: "Portal 2 ReviewOpen in new Window.

I actually still stand by most of what I wrote in this review, but if I were to do it over again, I'd probably also talk a little more about the game's wonderful co-op mode than I did. I didn't get a chance to play it until after I'd written and printed the review, you see. Fun fact: my co-op partner was one of my fellow Pulse staffers, and also the guy who did most of the page layout work for the printed review. Other fun fact: the "guy I follow on Twitter" I quote in the review is actually none other than Ian Milham, best known as the art director for the Dead Space video game franchise. He's a pretty cool guy.
