whats the difference between portal and half life?

"The cake is a lie" is a quote from Portal. Portal is a game where you play as Chellie and your goal is to get through a series of puzzles using a gun that can create portals. A crazed computer is the one forcing Chellie through the puzzles and promises a cake if all puzzles are completed. I'll leave what happens at the end as a surprise.

Half - Life is a game where you play as physicist Gordan Freeman. He wears the glasses. In Half - Life you have to save the world from creatures who spill over into Earth from another dimension because of a freak accident at a top - secret lab.

Portal is connected to Half - Life in some way, but I forget what the connection is. I think some scientist Gordan Freeman knew created the Portal Gun, but not sure, you should check the Half - Life and Portal Wiki articles.

I think both games are fantastic and I think you'd probably have a lot of fun playing them.

Well there are some major differences.

Half-Life:

Well first off, this one is a shooter. This one has the man with glasses (Gordon Freeman). Not to mention there are a variety of weapons to be used. It's based on the fact that a science experiment went wrong and basically turned people into zombies and you are the ultimate bad *** guy who kills them.

Portal (The Cake Is a Lie game):

This one is more of a puzzle game where you have to place portals in certain areas to get to the end. You are a test subject testing out the newest tech, the portal gun. A computer is guiding on everything you do but ends up trying to kill you, promising you cake for completing the test only to find out there is no cake. This is where the cake is a lie comes in at. Also there are no other guns in this one other then the portal gun you are testing. This should be the same in Portal 2 but I'm not sure since I have not played it.

They are both fun games and are worth playing and can be played on the PC and 360 (not sure about PS3

Half life 2 runs on the same engine as Portal, but it is a first person shooter, which is much different from the puzzle genius that is of Portal. In portal, your main weapon is the portal gun (obviously), but in Half life it is the gravity gun. All the games are good, while you may have a hard time getting used to the first half life, but i highly recommend you get Half life even if you don't like shooters. It s a very good game

Portal and Half-Life share the same world, but the events in Portal happened days before Half-Life. Supposedly Aperture Science(Portal) is a competitor of Black Mesa from Half-Life, and are both creating some kind of portal technology.

The "The cake is a lie" is a quote from the Portal game, which is your reward after finishing the testing of the portal gun, but yes it's lie. The protagonist in Half-Life is a man called Gordon Freeman, which is wearing a glasses. The hero in Portal is a girl, I forgot her name.

Both games are good, but Portal is kinda short.

I've often wondered what the difference is between eating a perfectly made Reuben and watching "Breakfast at Tiffany's" while sitting in an inflatable wading pool full of lime-flavored Jello and baked beans, but I never thought to turn to the Interwebs for an answer. Can anyone help me? I'll be forced to strangle my 5-year-old and my cat "Mr. Woogum-Pants" if no one can settle this.

Im tempted to believe this is trolling at how incoherent this question is...
