With only two games, the Portal series has still managed a gigantic impact on players. Its inventive puzzles are addictive, just like the acerbic jibes of the title's main antagonist, GLaDOS. Behind it all, synth-laden drones and melodic narratives help immerse you into the haunting madhouse of Aperture Science. Its soundtrack was composed primarily by Mike Morasky, who joins me for an exhaustive journey through Portal's audio. I also spoke to Jonathan Coulton, who wrote famed end-credits tracks like "Still Alive" and Ellen McLain, the voice of GLaDOS herself. Together, we leave no stone unturned.
