Guess it's a good deal if you haven't the Orange box already (please, I got it on day one!) Still, one of the most overrated games in recent years, if you ask me...

Eh, your mileage may vary; I thought it was pretty fun. "Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out."

I have the orange box but never got far in Portal i just lost interest. Not bad that its now free though even if its for a limited time.

If you haven't got Portal you should jump in on this offer. Its a great puzzle game to play especially when they introduce the momentum mechanics

Wait, there are people that don't have Portal? :doh:

Oh wait, of course; Mac users. :O:

I don't think the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device is ferret-tested anyways ;)

nice, I tried the demo and very much liked it.

Not everyone likes it, of course (as with al games), but it's definitely worth a try. Plenty of laughs throughout.

Ooh, Portal quotes? Can do those all day. :lol:

"You're doing very well. Please be advised that a noticeable taste of blood is not part of any test protocol, but is an unintended side effect of the Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grille, which may, in semi-rare cases, emancipate dental fillings, crowns, tooth enamel, and teeth."

Just finished it last night and whoa, it was good. :DL Tho, have to say I got a bit bored to the tests after awhile, liked the 'other' tests better. Ow and that yellow/orange ball in the end was THE best ever! :haha:

"WHO ARE YOU!? WHAT IS THAT?! IS THAT A GUN?? WHAT IS THAT LIGHT!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR LEGS?! WHERE ARE WE GOING?! ARE YOU COMING BACK?! OW HEY YOU'RE THAT LADY FROM THE TEST, HI! WHAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE?! "

:har::har:

EDIT: Ow and great credits sequence. :up:

Arclight 05-19-10 05:20 AM

Just fun to play through every now and then. :yep:

You'll know the puzzles by heart, but it's still funny. :)

Activision should take a note from Valve in the matter on how to treat your customers. I mean all DLC for the PC version of L4D and L4D2 is free.

I already have 3 portal copies(PC, PS3, and the Still Alive Edition for 360, which adds more levels) but have told my friends about the deal.

I really need to play the PC version again just to witness the new ending sequence. I'm highly anticipating Portal 2.
