Speaking specifically of Portal, it isn't free but it's very cheap ($20 tops, and $10 in some places) and it's a one time fee, not a subscription.<br />
<br />
There is a free flash version that is pretty neat at <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/404612">http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/404612</a> though.<br />
<br />
The real 3d version is incredibly mind-bending and the way it uses physics is incredible.

Wow, I really think it is neat that someone has found way to combine video gaming with the classroom. Most children love playing video games, so being able to play them and learn is awesome. Even better, these children are going to be excited for math class because they get to play video games! Hopefully more and more educators will find techniques like this one to get students excited about learning.

Thought so...there is some truth to getting what you pay for, much of the free stuff with either charge a fee or be gone in a year!!

I hold that playing Portal will make anyone smarter at anything.
