Well Final Fantasy XIII will have to wait a little longer since today I bought Portal 2 and it shoots to the top of my list for obvious reason (such as it's portal 2!).

The game starts off right away with the same sharp and perfect writing as the first game. Chel wakes up 15 days after the first game in an Aperture deep sleep room (looking like a cheep hotel), then after an hilarious movement tutorial she is waken up again a long time later when the lab's power plant begins failing. She's first guided by an not too bright orb and they try to make their escape before the place falls apart, picking up the 1 way portal gun as they go. Each area they go through has a temp voice explaining how even in the event of the end of civilization the test can still proceed, and how they are prepared for various doomsday scenarios (like a giant animal king enslaving humanity).

Eventually the orb accidentally wakes up GlaDos, and while fixing up the experiment chambers she explains how she will force Chel to run experiments for the rest of her life as revenge for killing her. Now with each new area GlaDos insults and ridicules Chel every way she can, from teasing her about being abandoned at birth to putting on weight during deep sleep (both are probably false).

The game is just as insanely fun as the first and I had to force myself to stop playing to get to sleep.
