A pair of cute robots star in Valve's team-focused twist on the Portal formula.

The single-player campaign's only twice as long? Jesus, that's crap.

I realise that it's difficult to weave a cogent plot without repeating puzzle-types across a greater length of time, but I figured on it being three times as long at least.

I finished the first game on first play-through in about four hours.

So, I'm gonna be able to finish this new game in eight or nine hours, am I? It'll last me two days, then.

If this is a £50/$60 release, that's not good enough.

I'm gonna need another reason to buy it.

By which I mean another reason *IN ADDITION TO* the co-op, mode.

I won't always have a second person to play with, which means it doesn't count as core content in my book.

don't buy it then.

^pretty much

It's not Valves fault that you play 5 hours of games per day. If you don't think it's worth it, then don't buy it. But don't go around saying that it's crap and not worth the money just because of the way you choose to spend your time.

For those of us who work, have social obligations, have a home to maintain, other hobbies etc, this game is going to provide at least a few weeks of entertainment.

The game looks awesome, and it will be worth every cent.

Let's see... number of AAA big name, big budget games I finished recently that lasted me 8 hrs or less:

Gears of War II
Dante's Inferno

I'm sure there are more...
