Epic game, worth getting again and playing again for the fifty millionth time.

Thanks for the heads-up. :D

That would be great, but I just got the Orange Box for PS3 a couple of weeks ago.

yes, but this is for your computer, not a console.

Oh spiffy. Will have to snag this when I get home!

Thanks for the post. I was going to buy it on Xbox Live soon. You saved me a couple bucks.

I don't mean to derail the thread... But what is Portal? :P Is it the valve program to run games i.e. Call of Duty or what ever?

Portal is a smallish Valve game in and of itself. Probably different from anything you've ever played. The name of the game derives from the "weapon" you carry through the game. You're trapped in a building, going through a a series of automated tests being run by an increasingly defective computer system. You have to shoot entry and exit points into and around different obstacles to get to the end of each test. Physics takes a very far back seat in this game as gravity and everything else start to lose meaning. But it is really addictive and Valve should really get around to making a much longer sequel.

Hmm I watched the trailer and it indeed looks very cool. reminds me of Myst, I loved that game. Going to check it out, thanks!
