Anyone with a Steam account can grab a full copy of Portal for free right now - Offer expires on the 20th September 2011.

Anyone without an account - Well here is a good excuse to make one :yesnod:


Some great deals on there from time to time - just got Need for Speed Shift for $5 a few days ago.

Thanks for pointing this out - I've just grabbed a copy.

Confusingly, if you just use steam to search for 'portal', it still seems to be listed at $20. But go through the web site, and there it is free...

Yeah it's listed at $19.95 - but when you click the link - you get an install button with no purchase price - Free!

It's so much fun - Great puzzles.

If anyone plays portal and enjoys it - I would whole heartedly recommend Portal 2.


Portal 2 is amazing - Co-Op with a friend is great for a few laughs.

Just buy it. Valve is one of the few studios I'm willing to support since their games are ALWAYS top notch. Portal 2 is amazing also. (Buy the source pack, half life etc, amazing games)

yeah i have the orange box on xbox
pretty damn good, lol

i got portal 2, finished it + co-op and traded it
i'll wait for they GOTY ed. and hope they add challanges to it ala portal 1

why won't Valve make half life 3/episode 3, you can't have a cliffhanger and then not make the next game FFS!! and it better not be like dukenukem forever...

Episode 3 is in pre-public beta testing. I've got a friend in the U.K that is currently testing it from a steam integration aspect.

And common... Its valve... Have they ever made a bad game? Plus its not going to take 15 odd years to release Ep 3.)

Depends how creative you are, but I was more than halfway at that point.
