Freebie: Portal

Portal is free until May 24th. No strings attached

downloadIcon  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 simultaneously 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 green button right there to the right or click right here.

Thanks to Steampowered.com for the great gift

This Week on DVD

This week on DVD we have some excellent releases. One excellent Horror/Thriller in Daybreakers (2010), and Mel Gibson's triumphant return in Edge of Darkness (2010). Legion (2010) is not a complete waste of an evening, although it cannot compare to the other two.

These movies are all worth owning, but our pick of the week has to be Mel Gibson's triumphant return.

Movie Pick: Iron Man 2

image

This week's pick in the wide releases is a very obvious Iron Man 2

Some actors are born to play certain parts. Robert Downey Jr. inhabits Tony Stark completely. It's not as surprisingly good as the first in the series, if only because we are expecting greatness. This movie is still good enough for an opening night standing ovation in the theatre we were in…more
