Default Portal (PC Game)

I believe there's a few gamers on these forums, is anybody else as addicted to Portal as I am?

If you don't know what it is:

A bunch of friends kept going on about it, so I went onto Steam and bought it just to see what all the fuss was about, and it seriously is a great game.

If you like to play games which make you stop, think, and work out solutions to problems instead of running around shooting, or racing, or whatever, grab it and give it a shot. Granted its a bit short, but there seems to be quite a few custom maps and third party stuff coming out for it now.

I reckon it's great, a game where you don't kill anything yet keeps me entertained

Was a cute little game, I think I've nearly finished it.. Missed out on the cake and went free form for awhile with the Portal gun while the narrator went a little mental, can't be too far left to go. Bought the Orange Box or whatever it's called for Episode 2 and Team Fortress 2 so was a nice little surprise.
