Aladdin Likes Portal

Aladdin isn't usually a videogame kinda person. He doesn't play Halo, he knows not of World of Warcraft, and he most certainly has never even heard of Minecraft. No sir.
But Aladdin likes Portal.
Why?
Most games are about one of three things: Killing things/people with boomsticks, staring at boobies, and slowly loosing your attention span.
Aladdin will wait patiently while you play the games at the last link.
Ahem.
The concept of Portal (and, by default, Portal 2: The return of that evil talking computer thingy) is relatively interesting in and of itself. Use a gun that does not shoot bullets to move a non-sexualized character through a logic puzzle to kill something that isn't really alive (nor is it a zombie).
Fair enough that the game does include some mindless repetitive tasks and probably will make Aladdin's eyes bleed if he plays it enough, but it is nonetheless fun.
And that's what it really comes down to. Portal is fun. Simple, primordial, fun. Not something that will take over his life like Minecraft has a tendency to do, but a nice timewaster.
