Free Portal!

Portal used to cost money. Until May 24th, it's free. End of story.

Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they're entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultanously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.

"I have a reason," some of you are probably typing into an angry email. "You see, sir, I own a Mac."

Well guess what: For the first time ever, Portal is also available for the Mac.

"Capitol news! But the excellent puzzle adventure Portal won over 40 Game of the Year awards; Surely it must cost at least five or six hundred dollars."

You'd think that, especially since it actually won over 70 Game of the Year Awards. But, like we keep saying, Portal is free. Free on the Mac. Free on the PC. But only until May 24th. So you only have a few days to decide if your free copy of Portal is worth the price we're currently charging - which is you ever-so-slightly moving your index finger just barely enough to click the big red "download" button right there to the left.

I would QFT, but as Mao said - those pennies could be used on Ep3.

KEEP THEM VALVE, AND USE THEM WELL

I'm just really annoyed that the one steam game I've bought they decide to give out free. C'mon Valve, free HL2 please?

Was years ago and was apart of a 3 game package that was cheap for what it was. And its a small game. So not at all bothered.

I'd agree with this if they'd use my money to HURRY THE FUCK UP with episode 3...

Am I the only one who doesn't care? Portal was free to begin with pretty much. (I didn't buy Orange box for portal, in other words.)

Besides, Portal was all in all a techdemo with a semi-decent script but extremely simple puzzles.

Even though I like Portal very much, I already owned it, so I'm not gaining anything here

if we make new accounts, and download portal on them, do we get access to the SDK base?

I think it's time to see if Portal runs on my netbook...
No high hopes though
