FREE maps for your FREE copy of Portal

In case you missed the news, Portal will be free for the Mac and PC
until May 24th on Steam. Since so many people are playing this great
game for the first time, we thought it’d be fun to highlight some of our
favorite add-ons for the first-person puzzler.

Prelude

Portal: Prelude is more than a mappack. The
unofficial prequel features more hours of gameplay than the original
Portal, tons of new challenges, and over 400 lines of speech with both
English and French subtitles.

According to the game’s creators, “Its story revolves around the
pre-GlaDOS epoch, even before she was plugged in. At this time, test
subjects were monitored by real Aperture Science employees, whose work
was tedious, lengthy and repetitive.” It’s a brilliant idea for a
premise that helps explain why Aperture Science needed GlaDOS to watch
over test subjects in the original.

Portal: The Flash Version Mappack

When Portal was first announced, self-proclaimed Valve fanboys Hen
Mazolski and Ido Tal couldn’t wait to play the game. In fact, they were
so excited that they started work on a 2D Flash version of Portal before
it even released. It turned out that their 2D take on Valve’s game was
incredibly fun. Since then, the browser-based game has won various
awards.

The team’s next project was a popular mappack with the 40 levels
featured in Portal: The Flash Version. Some of the new content in the
Xbox LIVE arcade game Portal: Still Alive was based on the levels
featured in this fan-made mappack.
