... is finally here:

Though, why they decided to open up their Mac offering with Portal and not, say, Counter-Strike: Source is beyond me.

they are going to enable more Valve games each coming week, so expect TF2, HL2 + episodes and CS:S

Portal is free until May 24th so give it a try, it's really worth it!

Installing Portal now
this is me smiling with tears of joy:'D

So I just finished a test run of Portal on my MBP.
First impressions are great. Great performance, CPU running around 85 degrees, and my settings were all on the recommended ones.

I've just been checking it out, own all of the above...
need to clear some disk space...
or reformat my bootcamp partition!?- I'm going to leave my Bootcamp part active for the (improbable) eventuality of Black Mesa: Source's release.Continuity

And now I'm going to have to dig out that back-up CD I've got of maps, weapon models, various config files ...

Is there any way to run Steam games windowed instead of full-screen. It's not really viable to run them at full-screen.
- dMullins0
Cool, got it figured out. There's a Fullscreen enable/disable feature inside the game that I didn't notice before.
- Is there a KB shortcut for it, like ⌘M, or domething?Continuity
- I don't know, it was in the ESC menu.dMullins

Downloading CS:Source on Steam now!

What's your impression so far? I'm finding TF2 is taking ages to connect to servers, Half-Life2 had really long load times offline too but otherwise comparable to bootcamp.

I haven't downloaded it yet, but hopefully it's just something temporary on Valve's side.
