finished it in about one sitting. none of the puzzles were too hard (but i already knew how to kill the computer at the end). i got a little annoyed at some parts like the super long jumps that seemed to be more trial and error than puzzle solving. maybe i just wasn't very good at it.
good game.
efx@Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 4:43 pm : I second this recommendation, it's a great game.
MBolus@Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 4:59 pm : Agree with the above.
I posted this elsewhere, but have any of you played any real good map packs or mods for Portal? I know a few are mentioned on other forums, but I haven't tried any myself.
The Happy Friar@Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 5:08 pm : $30 orange box.
$10 cheaper then steam. Since we're on the topic of cheap Portal, this is $6 per game included (HL2, Ep1, Ep2, Portal, TF2).
zeh@Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 2:05 am : Both are extra cheap and more than worth the price.

Yes but when Ep.3 is released you just know Valve will bundle them all together again and probably at a better deal than that.
The Happy Friar@Posted: Wed Sep 03, 2008 1:52 am : yes. sad part is that valve counts re-sales of previous products as a new sale. IE everyone who owned HL1 & EP1 but bought orange box added a sale to HL2 & EP1, even though it won't really get used.
id should take a lesson: include a free copy of all their older games with their newer ones, charge an extra $15, don't sell it with out the extras & rack up HUGE sales on old games that people already own.

Yeah, but you could give it away to some friend, so it's actually a sale in most terms.
The Happy Friar@Posted: Wed Sep 03, 2008 2:10 pm : i don't know anyone who wants any valve product besides hl1.
still a lost sale.
pbmax@Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2008 7:17 pm : Get Red Orchestra for $5.00 on Steam.
The Happy Friar@Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2008 9:47 pm : Portal should be $10 in stores now.
