  Valve Software has flipped the switch. You can now officially download Steam for Mac OS X. Do so now and Valve will throw in a copy of the original Portal for free.
  
  The first-person puzzle hit can be yours for zero dollars or zero Valve Points until May 24, when Portal returns to its regular price. We'd say that's motivation enough to download Steam for Mac, but you may say differently. And you'd be wrong. Update: Portal is also currently free to Steam users on Windows!
  
  Portal is the only Valve developed game available right now, sadly, but other developers including LucasArts and Telltale help to make up for the slim pickings. A full list of what's available for the Mac is available at the official Steam web site, along with a handy link to download the OS X version of Valve's digital distribution platform.
  
  A long list of currently available games is also below, with Valve promising new games "highlighting an area of Steam functionality" every Wednesday. The following games are all Steam Play releases, meaning that you can purchase a title on one Steam platform, say Windows, and play it on another, like Mac OS X.

  Yes, you should run into the portal and play it. It is one of the most unique games I have ever played, and since it's free, you should get it. Period.

  That's where I'm running to. So that I can play it before someone freaks out at me.
