Overview
Description

Explore a lush, vibrant alien world in the third installment of Nintendo's acclaimed strategic adventure series. Players take command of three stranded space explorers and a loyal legion of adorable Pikmin in an epic fight for survival. By leveraging the unique strengths of each Pikmin type, players solve intricate environmental puzzles, battle fierce predators, and harvest precious fruit to rescue their starving home planet from certain doom.

Portal is a first-person puzzle game developed by Valve. Players take on the role of Chell, a test subject who awakens in the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center. Guided by the sadistic artificial intelligence system GLaDOS, Chell must navigate through increasingly challenging test chambers using the 'portal gun,' a device that can create two portals that allow for instant transportation between them. As Chell progresses through the game, she uncovers the dark secrets behind Aperture Science and must use her wits to escape the crumbling facility.
