Bridge Constructor Portal at least manages to bring players back into the humorous, sarcastic, and deeply entertaining world of Portal, and it does so in such an accomplished way that it almost feels like a real Valve game. Their deaths have no influence on the budget, the rating or the snide comments from GLaDOS whatsoever - human life isn't very important when you are an ironically-inclined artificial intelligence with unlimited resources and unlimited power. In keeping with the Portal ethos, the drivers, flying from left to right, are a non-issue. These bridges must be firm enough to ensure that all test subjects get from the starting area to the end without any vehicles, in the form of forklift trucks, taking damage. The premise of the game is thoroughly explained by its title - you must construct bridges exactly like in previous releases, but with the added element of interdimensional portals. The world record holders for procrastination have done it again, and now that we know that Half-Life 3 will almost certainly never see the light of day, it seems like the hope for a Portal trilogy is just as remote. Not necessarily a bad thing, but nonetheless a disappointment. Is it finally happening, is Valve finally ready to make up for several years of decay? Unfortunately not, because in front of the word 'Portal' were two other words - Bridge Constructor. Like a well-trained hunting dog, our senses were on full alert with news of a newly-released game with the word 'Portal' in it.
