Yeah, you heard right. All you gamers, mac and pc... it feels so odd saying that, Valve are giving away Portal for free.

Portal used to cost money. Until May 24th, it's free. End of story.
Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they're entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultanously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.
"I have a reason," some of you are probably typing into an angry email. "You see, sir, I own a Mac."
Well guess what: For the first time ever, Portal is also available for the Mac.
"Capitol news! But the excellent puzzle adventure Portal won over 40 Game of the Year awards; Surely it must cost at least five or six hundred dollars."

You'd think that, especially since it actually won over 70 Game of the Year Awards. But, like we keep saying, Portal is free. Free on the Mac. Free on the PC. But only until May 24th. So you only have a few days to decide if your free copy of Portal is worth the price we're currently charging - which is you ever-so-slightly moving your index finger just barely enough to click the big red "download" button right there to the left.

Seriously, I've been telling everyone today to download the free Portal and everyone I've told has been like, "What is Portal?", WHERE THE *censored.3.0* HAVE YOU BEEN, UNDER A ROCK!?! It's only one of the best games ever. Download it now, or die.

On another note, I downloaded Steam for Mac. so far it looks really clean and flawless. Can't wait to play games on my Mac.

I know eh? Hopefully more people will see this and take up on this offer, even if not to play it yet but to just have it.
Awesome, I'm seeing alot more people online now.
 
I'm thinking about downloading Steam and downloading it just to try it out.

Free Portal is a pretty good incentive.

I'd say so, even if you can't play it... you could do later on when you have the means.

Such as MW2 Online Play was free, they're giving out a lot of free stuff now.
And, what is Portal like.
No, it's not quite the same... as they are giving you the game for good. Not just a free weekend. And that's Valve all over with Steam, so many deals.

@Garrett, no.

Didn't think so, thanks for clarifying.

Oh wow, I can't even log on to Steam properly.
"Fail to load modules properly."
What computer do you have? A piece of glass inside a rock?
Considering that I was just on Steam two weeks ago, no.
