Portal (full game) - FREE on Steam! :)

[totalnoob]

*Dead* *Dead* *Dead* http://store.steampowered.com/freeportal/

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.

Portal was amazing fun, and super entertaining.... took me almost a year of having the orange box to finally decide to play it. Once I got past the third stage I was hooked. Loved the ending!

Portal should be required reading-er playing- in high school. After they make you read Tale Of Two Cities you get to play portal and write a paper about it.

Sweet. Very nice of them to do. More cake for everyone!

The best game I've ever played that I didn't really want to buy (it was part of the Orange Box).

 

[Unheard]

Sites hammered but I got in. Now it would seem that steam is hammered, so I can't download it

Lol

Was going to buy The Orange Box eventually anyway, now I'll get to play Portal in advance.

F'n Steam....This is the first time I have ever used this and the F'n thing keeps on pausing.

Is there a chance of it actually finish downloading before the 23th? LOL

 

[Blayze]

Thanks

Once you've finished the game, there are a bunch of community made maps you can add to extend replay value.

http://www.portalprelude.com/about.php (full prequel to the game with more levels than the original..It's tough, but there are walkthroughs available on youtube.)

I vary in how far behind I am

(Games I'm playing for the first time include Deus Ex on one end of the spectrum and Trine on the other end)

So if I download it now, does that mean I can only play until the 24th (like a free trial), or will it be playable afterward?
thanks

Only part that was interesting was near the ending, the rest was a absolutely boring :\

I loved GlaDOS's voice though, nearly as cool as Shodan's.

It's completely free and not a free weekend. The sequel is coming out near the end of this year, so I think that's part of the reason for this being free.

I've got portal but not HL2. Do I need to have HL2 installed like it says for the map pack? Is that really the only way it works?

I can still play this game for free and I'm 100&#37; I didn't buy it. Anyone else notice this?
