		<description><![CDATA[If you stop and think about it, I’ll bet you can count on one hand the amount of video games with a number after the title that are any good.  I’ll even go as far as to wager there are even less that you would consider to be better than the original game.  Recently, Valve has made an attempt to enter into this coveted unofficial hall of fame with Portal 2.  If you’re anything like me, you have fond memories of a smart mouthed, disembodied, computerized, robot voice with a set of morals the KKK would frown upon pushing you through multiple, puzzle-filled chambers that can melt your brain (sometimes literally) while attempting to solve them.  Has Valve managed to live up to the challenge with Portal 2?  In a word, no; they've not only lived up to it, they’ve completely bitch-slapped it.]]></description>
