Then the name should be clearer to reflect that. Also, Portal Door exists.

Yes, but it's still relevant.

The Age of Mythology example doesn't seem to fit. It seems like a list of cool gates, rather than Cool Gates. I don't want to just cut it, though, since I've never played Age of Mythology and there might be a Cool Gate or two in that list. (folderized for compactness)
Age of Mythology
- Age of Mythology has a whole bundle of them—the adamantine, gods-can't-break-'em Gates of Tartarus alone are worthy of mention. There's also:
- The gates of Troy (duh), which are as close to magically-indestructible as mortals can get.
- The even more almost-indestructable Atlantean Gate, made of green granite or something.
- The cavernous Underworld Passage that Apollo allows you to summon in-game
- The strip-mined entrance to Erebus constructed by Gargarensis in Iolchis
- The folding staircase over nothingness leading out of Erebus that Zeus summons to save Arkantos
- The Well of Urd, also an entrance to Erebus
- The Sky Passages that Oranos uses to get his followers from place to place
- The hellhound-sized Tartarus entrance that Hekate summons to release her little minions—shaped like a skull
- And the various entryways the Titans use when you summon them. Cerberus, Ymir, and the Atlantean rock-thing (Typhon) all have big pit/mound shafts that collapse behind them, but Horus requires you to build him a god-sized landing platform, appropriately decorated, of course.
- The gates of Troy (duh), which are as close to magically-indestructible as mortals can get.

I was just going to fix this up to take out the first person, but I don't know if it is an example or not - it's not clear. Put here for now.
- I don't know if the Gate to a New World from Simoun counts, as this is only a metaphorical description. Actually, this "Gate" is the completed Emerald Ri Maajon.
People don't seem to understand what a Cool Gate is. To clarify, a Cool Gate is a portal to somewhere else, NOT a cool door.
