    Just finished the main Portal game. Portal is a very addictive game. They did a great job to keep increasing the difficulty and adding twists to make it challenging. It just does a great job to keep you playing.

    End credits were great too. Be sure to watch and listen.

    I look forward to more maps. I just hope that they offer a map making kit. Not only that hopefully they actually synthesized that voice so that you can type in your own stuff and have her say it.

    The last level was the best part of the game. It is too funny.

    Yeah it was awesome, beat it the day it was out I was into the game. I haven't played the advanced or chanellages yet, are those any good? The ending credits did rock though.

    I didn't check, but you can probably make maps for it using the Source SDK, or maybe they released a specific Portal SDK.

    USES HAmmer specifically configured for Portal, which is part of the normal Source SDK.

    Just click the drop down menu on the bottom o the SDK and select portal

    The challenges are fantastic!

    Try the second challenge with the time limit. You are literally soaring through the air, and flying through a portal every other second.

    Speedrun with portals! :D
