Portal is free on Steam until May 24th

To celebrate the launch of the Mac version of Steam, Portal is free to 'buy' for a while.

If you've not played this before, take the opportunity, it is a truly fantastic game.

mmm, free maybe, downloadable nope! Looks like it's been a victim of its own success, I'll try again tomorrow.

Joe 90 · 13-05-2010, 01:12

yeah, looks like its under heavy load, speed is terrible

It may be one of the most overrated games of all time, but for free I can't complain in getting it again.

Joe 90 · 13-05-2010, 04:02

I noticed a few "offers" in the latest news. Are there any actual bargains to be had?

I really liked Portal but found it had very limited appeal. I left it downloading when I went to bed and it was crawling along at about 200K/s.

I wonder when the Half-Life series will be available on the Mac, I tried last night but ti says they're not supported but I read somewhere that it would be supported.

They're releasing a wave of Mac games every Wednesday so it'll be in the next few weeks or so for HL2 i'd expect. I dunno if HL1 will be made Mac available though, or if it's just Source engine games.

I played Portal on my Mac this morning. It's a short game (and I already own it), still I always feel happy completing it.

I've grabbed it with the increasingly rising hopes that Steam and the Source engine is coming to Linux as well
