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."

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?

Oh wait, of course; Mac users.

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.

"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."
