Portal: game of the year. Blocks: protagonist of the century.
As a Block, you’ve no idea the amount of joy it brings me to see the humble cube finally get its comeuppance. Not only does Portal make stars of the simple and six-sided, but now Joystiq has shown its proper appreciation by awarding it Game of the Year. It had some stiff competition from such Ryan-faves as COD4, Bioshock, and especially Rock Band, but is it any wonder Portal is my new favorite game?

Aww, my little companion cube. I’ll never incinerate you!
It’s good to see brilliant and original games like this get the recognision that they deserve ^_^
Also I have the exact same name as you, seriously I found this page by googling my name.
