Portal is one of my favorite games of all time. its genius.

dweez:
I enjoyed Portal immensely and am eager to see how Valve incorporates the gun (and the character for that matter) into later HL episodes.

jacktheripper305:
i heard that the idea for Portal came from them wanting to use the portal gun in Half Life 2, but not having a good way of incorporating it. and instead of scrapping it altogether, they made a whole new game out of it. Does anyone know if this is true?

I think that's correct...

dweez:
I can see it being helpful for certain parts of Half-Life but also too convenient at times.  We'll see how it's worked into it.  BTW, anyone heard when the next HL2 ep is due?

BTW, do you think the "episodes" that Steam has started are a better way to go then the typical large $60 games?
