Portal is Penny Arcade's top pick for 2007

by Richard Mitchell { Dec 28th 2007 at 2:30PM }

The (143rd) Annual We're Right Awards at Penny Arcade have been revealed for 2007, and Portal has swept them all this year. Landing "Best Soundtrack," "Best Writing," and "Best New Game Mechanic," it looks like Gabe and Tycho like Portal (they really, really like it!). Honestly, we think it's a pretty good pick ourselves, as we were in love with it for the half a dozen or so hours it took to complete. What's remarkable here is not that Portal "won," but that it was the only game mentioned at all. Definitely big praise from one of the internet's largest gaming sites.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we're working on our own awards for 2007.

I just finished Portal last night and it was awesome. Not sure if I can say GOTY, but it's up there.

I wish they would come out with more podcasts. It is a lot of fun to hear them work on a comic. Oh and portal is awesome .

I agree, listening to them talk is sometimes even funnier than the comic that they produce. If only I could bug their office, I would have my very own podcast of PA.

that is soo awsome, this is the first time i have heard any gaming awards directed at portal. It is my pick too, i mean bioshock and halo were up there but originality and storyline, i mean come on is there anyone out there that didn't get hooked as soon as the storyline started? and the song at the end of the game was amazing...
