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.
"Capital 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.

Portal was a lot of fun. This is a brilliant way to creating interest in Portal 2.
I had one of my most rewarding (single-player) game moments in Portal, with the computer voice telling me one thing, and in-game survival instincts telling me another, I made the right choice in the spur of the moment, narrowly avoiding death without having to load from a saved state. If games had more of that, where common sense driven by realistic cues from the plot comes into play in real-time, I would be much more interested in single-player in general.

Same here. I got it a while back then forgot about it so much I had to check if I had it installed. ... Dug out my notes (couldn't remember my account info for Steam), grabbed Portal ... haven't gotten much done since then.

I'm not really interested in the game, but I'll download it anyway since I don't want to pass up the opportunity.
