I love it. I played it at my friend`s a lot but never considered it a game worth buying... but it`s definitely worth a free pickup

Anyone who likes puzzles should definitely pick this up. Even my friend who hates video games loves it

But it lives in the hearts of everyone who's ever played Portal to the end. I'd say that's more real than most of the "real" cakes out there.

Free? Dammit, I spent like $20 for this maybe 8 months ago.

That being said, I didn't regret a dime of that. It's a fun and thought-provoking game written with a wry sense of humor. Also, the song at the end is just pure win. If you don't know anything about the game, it's best to go in completely spoiler-free.

For free? Go, get it now!

I bought the orange box a half a year ago, Portal came with it.


... still haven't played it. Once semester finals are over (tomorrow ) I might play it through.

I'm the opposite, Portal is the only Orange Box game I've completed.

Awesome game made even better by being free. Also, a must play for pop-culture literacy. "The cake is a lie!" and all.

Also, they are doing a free trial of the indie-game Altitude, which is fun and reminds me of the old days of Subspace. Certainly worth a try at least.

Amazing game!

I bought the Orange Box just for Portal.

Best ending of any game I've ever played.

A year or so ago I got it with the Orange Box for about a tenner

It's a great game, I still have completed the master levels tho.

Portal is great. I loved the atmosphere and humor. The Half-Life series is my favorite.

I can't get it to run

I installed Stream and everything, but when I click "PLAY GAME", nothing happens?

Maybe I'll just go play music instead haha

I've only played it a couple of times. I enjoyed it, and you can't beat for free. Haha. Good find.
