Let's see what I've been playing.

Lost Planet: I like the mechanics of the game a lot, the grappling hook adds a lot to the human sections and the mechs handle very well, being different enough from each other, the transition is great as well, since you can enter or leave a mech at any time.
I love the setting too, frozen wastelands get me going, and the thermal energy mechanic that goes alongside it is pretty nice, tohugh it could some improvements.
The actual levels however are all over the place, the on foot segments try to vary, going from regualr shoot outs to exploration to stealth missions, but they all end up playing the same, thermal energy has no cap, and as long as you ahve some your health bar is regenerated, so Leeroy Jenkins is always the best strategy, when you are on a mech you are even more of a death machine, but the bosses are a 180° spin, all of them are fairly challenging, and the dififuclty change is quite drastic, none of them feel unfair by any means, but they also ahve rather bizarre weaknesses.
It's just... uneven, it's a fun game, but it's all over the place.

Portal: Yeah, I had never played Portal... sue me!
Anyways, it's not hard to see why it's so beloved, it feels like one of those rare experiences where there's nothing missing or unneeded, it's a well done game with great ideas and executions and it's always challenging enough without being annoying.
Loved it.

Melty Blood: I finally beat motherfrigging G-Akiha.
F#CK YEAH!!!
Man, that took a while.
