Just played Passage there and it isn't a real game. It's not in the slightest bit entertaining and I wouldn't even call it art or thought provoking. A waste of time is the best way I can descirbe it. http://www.pentadact.com/2008-02-25-nick-montfort-on-portal-vs-the-passage/#comment-26945 ImperialCreed Mon, 25 Feb 2008 21:46:49 +0000 http://www.pentadact.com/index.php/2008-02-25-nick-montfort-on-portal-vs-the-passage#comment-26945 I'm sorry, Passage is <i>better</i> than Portal? I think you have it right on Tom with your final comment - Passage is obtuse, ugly and not really a game. Plus with that stupid midi tune it comes across with a tinge of "emo". And nobody likes emo. I played it when it showed up on RPS and it intrigued me a little, but the thought of going back to it now just bores me. Essentially, Portal is the one game ever I've raved about to anyone who'll listen. I mean, you won't see the likes of John Walker wasting his time painting a silly little sprite on his freezer will you? better than Portal?
