(Insert cake joke here.)


The cake joke is a lie.

Haha, that is true.  I can't remember the last time I've been wowed by a game like that.

Space Fractal:

Even brought Bioshock trouch Steam, it still have the copy proctection used. On the steam shop page, wrote its Contains SecuROM copy control software. Installations limited to five PCs per license. I do remember they have created a tool to fix these uninstall issues that came with it. I do hear they remove that limit sooner or later.

For the Orange Box, I have no problemo with Steam at all. It works very well.

Portal is short and great and fun game... one of the best credits I ever seen and stil have that song in the heard.


EwJ:

Thanks for all the info guys.
Is Portal available by itself sans Orange Box or Steam?

If not, and it really is as good as you guys say, perhaps i'll
make an exception for it and bend over, grease up and
accept all the Steam stuff installing, running in the background,
connecting and (insert deity here) knows what.

Other suggestions so far are Gears of War.  Any others?

Howard_Casto:

AFAIK portal by itself is only available via download (through steam). 

In all honesty, the rest of the orange box, at least to me, is crap.  I know half-life  2 got all these awards and such, but to me it's just another fps.  Mind you it is a nice looking fps with a decent story and (gasp) a single player oriented one at that, but at this point fps to me are like iterations of sf2 were to me by the time the late 90's rolled along.  You've seen one you've seen em all.  Portal might run on the same engine, but the fpp (first person puzzle) is definately a unique and new genre with fun to be had for all.
