anyone buyin the ps3 version? considering buying it once there is a certainty that the steam version is bundled with it.
Valve Software has repeatedly described Portal 2 for the PS3 as being “the best console version of the game.” And for good reason, given that you’ll get a free PC or Mac version of Portal 2 along with your PS3 copy, as well as exclusive cross-platform PS3-to-PC co-op gameplay and voice chat, Steamworks features and much more.
wow, now how can you go wrong with a deal like that?Pity Portal just isn't my kinda game otherwise I would have snatched this up.cross platform play is definitely something worth supporting
Just finished this absolute MASTERPIECE of a game.EASILY the best game I've played for 2011. GOTY material for sure,and I haven't even touched the multiplayer.The game's script, especially Wheatley, is top notch, and seriously laugh-out-loud funny.I don't think I've had this much fun with a game's SP in YEARS.Some of the test chambers were beat-in-2-mins easy, while somewere downright FIENDISH. I literally had to pause the game, talk a walk outside,and then come back to attack the puzzle from a different angle.The story has a nice twist in it as well, and the ending is more epic than the first.Hats off to Valve for a truly wonderful sequel. Head and shoulders above the first game.11 out of 10.
Portal is used to teach science as Valve gives game away for limited timeBy Ben Kuchera | Published about an hour agoPortal is one of the rare games that can change the way we think about the world, how we view the physical space around us. Valve is now offering the first Portal title for free, provided that you download a copy of the program for either Mac or PC before September 20. This is the full version of the game, and it will remain in your library after that date; you simply must download the title before next Tuesday."One of the biggest challenges in teaching science, technology, engineering, and math is capturing the students' imaginations long enough for them to see all of the possibilities that lie ahead," the company wrote on the Learn with Portals site. "Using interactive tools like the Portal series to draw them in makes physics, math, logic, spatial reasoning, probability, and problem-solving interesting, cool, and fun, which gets us one step closer to our goal—engaged, thoughtful kids!"The Evergreen school visits ValveThis isn't idle talk; Valve has invited schoolchildren into the company's offices to help them create levels for Portal. This instruction goes deeper than just allowing kids to fool around with a video game, as the children learned about spatial reasoning, engineering, and even mathematics. It's an important lesson: what might seem like a dry subject in the classroom has amazing applications outside of it. It's one thing to try to explain to a child how air flows over moving objects, and it's quite another to twist the fins on the body of a model rocket to show them how to create torque.This is a great way to spread the love of science and gaming to children, and if you haven't played Portal until this point, you now have no excuse.
