It's a very good but tragically short game. I've finished it a number of times, both on the PC and the XBox360.

In the usual way for Valve, Steam for the Mac in April currently means May 12th. Oh, I see it's made it into the official list already... http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time >I have, somehow, managed to remain blissfully unaware of the specifics >of the ending, despite knowing general stuff like the offer of cake >being not exactly truthful. How on earth did you not finish it? The last third is *so* good! I just played it through again a few nights ago, deigning to reboot into the BootCamp system. The ATI4850 in the iMac does a very nice job. Cheers - Jaimie -- If you own a jackhammer, every problem looks like hours of fun

I misread that as "inflating" somehow. Hmm. Cheers - Jaimie -- If you haven't got time to RTFM, you haven't got time to whine about it.
