Now let's do it the other way around ;P
Actually, Portal: The Flash Version, is the other way around, and a pain to beat.
Portal fans, a neverending source of needless recursion.

Well that just stands to reason. What is a portal but a way of making a room needlessly recursive?
Anyway this is a pretty good game. It's more fun to fool around trying to trap enemies than actually trying to beat Mario, I think. And the Portal maps have some interesting puzzles, but I really wish you had unlimited lives for that or at least could start on a later stage. I can't get past test chamber 12.

If it's so recursive, why:

That doesn't make any sense... You should be able to solve all the chambers if it's such a recursive game, right? It seems that you never understood the logic in this game, and the way that difficulty can increase level by level. Portal is a compendium of puzzles only suitable for clever people... and you seem to be too frustrated to admit that the real problem you've got with this game is simply that you suck as player (puzzle-solver), don't you think? On the other hand... Really? can't make it to the end on Ch12? This chamber it's just flinging, man...
At least, if you are going to criticize this game, please FINISH IT FIRST.

No, that's dumb. I don't need to play a game 100% to know if I'm enjoying it or not. If a game doesn't capture a players' attention and interest until several hours into the game, then it's a bad game.
As for this, I just couldn't get into it. The Mario-style movement is a little too off for me to just play it like a platformer. The portaling mechanic feels like a gimmick - probably because that's exactly what it is - and only really seems useful in 1 or 2 locations in the Mario campaign that I played through. As for the Portal campaign, I got sick of dying after like level 4.

If you were sick after level 4, then that means I'm deranged for completing the entire campaign. Oh well, at least I got cake at the end.
I quitted all the rest of games only to focus in Portal after I finished it in 2 evenings! I've played like 500 custom Portal maps... and around another 400 ones for Portal2.
And I can't ever get enough! (that should appoint me as Portal n?1 fan)

Someone's been watching Misery. 
I think the only decent Super Mario Bros. Mod I've played is Super Mario Crossover. Being able to choose classic characters (Megaman, Samus, the guy in Castlevania whats-his-name, etc.) to play classic Mario levels is awesome.

Wow, msleeper, to be frank I never thought you would think like so about Portal!
I enjoy Portal. I don't necessarily enjoy things pretending to be Portal, or things who put portals in them. I'm not the type of ravenous fanboy who eats up anything with portals on it just because it has portals on it.

I think you misunderstood my entire post?
Recursive means repeating or looping. A portal makes a room loop on itself. It was just a silly observation.
It's not Chamber 12 in Portal I can't get past, it's Chamber 12 in Mari0's Portal map pack. It looks like this:

I can't get past it because of the precise timing required and the fact that you only have three lives to do it in, which is why I mentioned I would like unlimited lives.

Well, I think I misunderstood you then... I HATE anything that pretends to be Portal, when is so far from Portal.
@logicalDemoness:
Well, it seems that I also misunderstood you man... Sorry. Anyway, I knnow the meaning of recursive but frankly I can't apply that term to Portal or Portal2, even though you make loops with portals, because I think that term is more derogatory than other kind.
