Valve’s Steam service has won over the hears of PC (and now Mac) gamers worldwide by finally proving a solid platform for games to be bought, downloaded, played online, shared… you name it. One of the other great things about Steam is that they just love running crazy specials all of the time, and today there is a pretty good …

Unfortunately we weren’t invited in behind closed doors by Valve to take a look at Portal 2 at E3 this year but thanks to the power of the Internet we are able to simply steal Joystiq’s video and show it here after the break.
