Portal 2 beated (~2 weeks ago, can we count this?)

Portal 1+2 are arguably the best 1-2 punch in a game series of all time -- especially if you're looking at just the first two games in a game series.

And Portal 2 is the better one

I used to think they were on equal ground, but I'm comfortable giving 2 the edge now. I have some critiques about the find-tue-white-wall structure to some end-gsme puzzles, but

1) ...it's been over a decade and there's not another environment that feels as alive as Portal 2's It's still incredible what they did with it.

2) Besides the credits, Portal 2'# soundtrack runs wild on Portal 1's. Not only is the soundtrack excellent on its own and in-game, but the sound design was a work of art. I still admire how they handled the triple-laser puzzle's music and like that there's a hidden radio with its own whole song.

3) Lasers > energy balls.

I need to get back on the two-player mode sometime. It's as admirable of a sequel to a tough-to-follow game like Portal 1 that one could ask for.
