Beat the game last night, it took about 10 hours. The new objects added made for some interesting puzzles, and the final boss battle has a truly epic moment. Plus, how can you go wrong with a new character of the "nervous British man" character type? The writing is better than the first, in my opinion.

AKA Stephen Merchant. Personally think they should have cast Danny Wallace in the role.

If we start giving British people names they'll start to think they deserve human rights. They should be kept for their amusing accents but we don't want them gaining too much power.

Does anybody know if you can use the Steam code on a different Steam account once you have linked your PSN to your Steam or does it have to be used on that specific account that is linked to your PSN?

I've heard mixed things; some people claim you can use the code on a different copy of Steam, others claim you have to use it on the same one. Has anyone here tried it?

According to the above link it is possible. I'm going to try it tonight with my buddies' PS3 copy. If it doesn't work I'll just send a copy of Portal 2 to his Dad's house, get him to register a PSN with steam then send me the code. He will then sell the game for me and I'll get Portal 2 for next to nothing.

Thanks to Sony I can't access PSN anymore so this makes it a lot more difficult than it has to be. If I can skip the whole sending a copy of Portal 2 to somebody else's house just to register an account and get a code to put into my actual Steam account, nonsense then I'll do it.

I'm pretty sure the code should work with any Steam account. It shouldn't be linked up to your game or anything.

I agree, really a treat. Is it just me or is Chapter 7 pretty tricky? I'm just about finished with the game.
