    Correct. I don't think EA has anything to do with it. They're too busy with Crysis.

    EA has nothing to do with Steam, however they do publish the boxed retail PC, 360, PS3 versions.

    Portal is well worth it

    Although it's fairly heavy on your system - i can run half life 2 at about 50-60fps, but portal slows it right down in some places.

    Actually, I was surprised at it's performance. I'm running it at 1600x1200 with everything maxed and it's quite smooth, and I don't have an 8800
