Major love for Portal.

It's one of my all-time favorites; fun concept with FPS-playform-puzzle solving, great world-building & storyline, and one of the most truly inspired HORROR games I've ever played (games that use jump scares and say "boo!" could learn something). Seriously, how messed up and torturous and just damn tragic everything is in Aperture really gets to you (and I fully believe Chell's last name is Johnson).

I was lucky enough when I decided to first do the co-op DLC to get a really good partner, and we had a fun couple of hours running through the maps all night, gelling as a duo like Atlas and P-Body, and then the payoff. It was great. I started downloading player made maps, and that was awesome, but a bit cumbersome at times. This new feature could make that fun again. I also like that the backstory opened up a whole new element with parallel-earth outsourcing.
