Valves rather popular puzzle game Portal is now officially available on Linux in Beta form, thanks Valve!
Contrary to what Phoronix is telling you (let's not bash him, he simply didn't check anything), it's only Portal not Portal 2 which is available and not a final release, it is in Beta remember folks!
Originally released in 2007 it's great to see it hit Linux that's for sure!
Get it while it's hot! If you don't own it then it's quite cheap now it £6.99! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:

Quoting: rccarrollMy comment was directed at future Valve/Steam customers. In my case, they had two of their games that indicated they worked in Linux. I paid for them. They did not work or even load, or download. I complained immediately, but could not get my money back. They did change the web page to indicate that Dirt2 and the Testament of Sherlock Holmes don't work in Linux, but that is after the fact. If they c hanged the web page, it is an indication that they made a mistake. They did make a mistake, the games are not compatible with Linux. But they kept my money. I offered to give them screenshots, but they don't care.I can't say I've ever seen a title on the official store/client show a platform it didn't support. Can you show us those screenshots of yours?

Woot! Portal finally. Thankfully I haven't finished Portal 2 yet, so I can't wait for that to come out. That and CS GO :P For a Beta, Portal works mighty fine on my system. FPS does drop though when I open the portals and look into them.

I find it hard to believe I'm playing a triple A title on Ubuntu natively. Times sure have changed :)
