Flash Version of Portal Converted to Actual Map Pack

Astute fans of Portal may remember the quirky Flash version, released prior to the Valve title by the self-styled "group of nerds" at We Create Stuff.

Now the group has converted the same levels from the Flash version into actual PC Portal maps, available for download at the We Create Stuff website.

The developers estimate the 40 levels will add up to some three and a half hours of additional Portal gameplay, and early word from Shacknews community member DrWaffles indicates the pack is worth your time. If it's been a while since you've loaded up Portal, this sounds like a good excuse.

Very well made and fun. I guess it's a bit rough around the edges, but this being a free community-created map pack and all, it's surprisingly good.

Downloaded this last night and tried it out. They did a great job with the maps. Some of the maps were brutally hard. Or I wasn't thinking with portals :P It was nice to play some new maps in the Portal Universe. I missed hearing GlaDOS's voice.

Downloaded. Hope to give this a whirl soon.

Kind of surprised that Portal really hasn't been supported by Valve. TF2 gets occasionally a new map and new additions, but nothing for Portal. :(
