The Best Game in a long, long time is free for the next two weeks

Portal. Free, for PC and Mac.

This wouldn't have happened under a Labour government.*


*Yes, obviously it would have done. I just couldn't resist saying that. I'll probably make the same joke, the other way round in a few days time. Please don't hurt me.

Ta. Finally dled steam as a result.

tsk. I don't know how this can be made free when the deficit is so huge. It's just IRRESPONSIBLE! ;-)

Free, but you have to download a load of stuff and register and now I just have a blank window and am wondering if I can be bothered faffing any more....

[andrewducker]

It's worth it. They were just overloaded for a bit. Working fine now.

Dammit, under a Labour government I was forced to pay for this. It cost me all of £20 for the Orange Box. I demand at least a partial refund.

Three or four failed tries on the captcha. I give up.

[andrewducker]

That's incredibly frustrating!

I'm not even sure it had a captcha when I first downloaded Steam.

I don't think I can download Portal without having an account, and there's a captcha for that.

You do need a Steam account to play, yes, but Steam is itself free and only marginally annoying once you sign up.

Portal really is one of the best games ever made. Give it a couple of days for Steam to stop being overloaded with all the millions of people going "one of the best games ever, free!" and try again? It's well worth it.
