Going back to the portal announcement..

I downloaded it while it was available, but soon discovered it was all a trap!! They don't include the ability to download the Source SDK after downloading Portal. So, right after you're completely hooked on the game, you find yourself unable to try any the free mods that are available (I highly recommend Portal Prelude).

Maybe this was their intention, but I don't give a rats ass! It's a very challenging and addictive game! I really would recommend anyone to buy it (I believe purchasing Portal now does include the SDK). But if you were lucky enough to download Portal while it was free, simply purchase Half-Life 2: Deathmatch (£2.49!!) for the ability to play mods.
