I only know Portal from the song, but the song is enough to make me want to play it. If only I had some sort of gaming console!
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Yes, Portal is a wonderful & devious game.
I have GTA IV. It is running on my Xbox.
The opening credits & sequence were beautifully 'filmed'. If this were a film I would know I was about to watch something where the director knew how to actually tell a story.
My in-game cousin has, after I drove very slowly to get used to the controls, informed me that I "drive like a bitch". Ah, good times, good times.

Nope, because his computer is not in the same room as the XBox, and while I love him very much, I don't think he needs to use my laptop to burble at everyone while playing GTA4. I'm mean like that.

I don't know if Portal's out for the Mac, but we played it on the PC. Given its popularity, it would be stupid not to have a Mac version.

I think Valve (makers of Portal) support PC, XBox 360, and PS3 only. They would have to port their Source engine to Mac to do Portal, so it's pretty doubtful.

Well, the whole setup of Orange Box on the PC was pretty sucky, so I can't say I'm surprised. I don't know if it's as insane on consoles.
