Steam 2012 Summer Sale

[Lissa]

Buy this if you haven't already. $6.24 for both Portal games - good for about 9 and a half hours from this post.

And there's only ~150K community-created maps for Portal 2.

I'm sure some of them are crap, but some of them are pretty fun if you like puzzling out how to do them. $6.24 is a steal for this pair of games if (like me) you hadn't bought them before.

Yep, and even if you only play through both games once in single player and only get about 17 total hours of play out of them (that is what my total time played on both them was for just beating the single player campaign) that is more than worth it because I swear I spent more than 17 hours on them just doing that, because it was just fun and interesting the whole time and not being able to solve some of the puzzles generally didn't cause annoyance like some other games can.

Well, 2 is definitely twice the length of 1 for time to complete. 1 took me around 5 to 6 hour whlie 2 took me 11 to 12 to complete. So playing 2 might have made you think that as 1 is definitely a lot shorter (and considering some of the achievements in 1 is to complete some of the top levels in 2 minutes or so, level 19 is like this especially) so 2 might skew your thoughs on how long 1 takes. 2 is definitely awesome, but I'm not sure we'll see a 3 (no spoiler on 2's ending).
