Before I talk about it I'd like to say I know we play America's Army,
I am not here for personal advertising of Valve or anything...
But I've found an awesome game I think the clan would LOVE.

However in 24 hours the price goes back to normal... $20
Right now it is $7

I've always heard of Valve making leaps and bounds in imagination, creativity and revolutionizing the gaming genres.

Half Life for example was Godly, I played Half-Life 2. It was so far into next gen it's not funny, games now still struggle to compete, and this was back in 2004.

I'd heard of Portal and always wondered.

Well... Valve is doing a Portal TWO discount, and I bought it.
The game is a puzzle game, but nothing like any I've ever played.

It takes the role of a FPS, but your weapon fires different colored portals onto flat even surfaces, you walk through them and appear at the end of the portal you created, as it's turned a different color.

Example, a square room. Fire an orange Portal at the north side, fire a blue at the south side. Walk through the blue and your on the other side.

This becomes tricky as you jump into them, fire them onto the ceiling to cross a gap. You see yourself walk through the other side, it is creepy at first, but it is like time travel and dimension hopping.

SUCH A FUN GAME. Very challenging at times. And the community creates it's own puzzles so they never end after you beat the game. Players can take just minutes to make a simple one, easily traversed or much longer to contemplate a nearly impossible one.

I think you all should look at it on the Steam Store, if you do not read this by the time the sale is over, at least it's only $20. If you read it soon enough, it is 66% off.

A Revolutionary Idea, what Valve does best.

NO BUGS BABY!
