Killer Valve offering Portal is currently Free on Steam! Here grab it and install it on your netbook! You have heard of Portal yeah? Its a strange mix of FPS, Platform and Puzzle. Kind of. Its quite compelling, you play from a FPS perspective, trapped in a small roomed puzzle defying gravity, and seemingly logic, to escape and move onto the next bizzare room. You do have a toy, a rather smart Portal Gun capable of creating, yeah you guessed, a portal (or hole!) which enables you to teleport around your space in an effort to move onto the next trap. Physics plays its part, seeing objects that go thru a portal come steaming out of, er.. well the portal exit! Sounds odd? Its is, buts its strangely addictive and includes some top class production values, courtesy of Valve.
Its a pretty good game regardless of the fact its currently free, we urge you to put Portal on your Netbook and see for yourself!

InstantSonic again with some gaming goodness! Released in 2003 for the PC, PS2, and X-Box, Beyond Good and Evil is a game in a genre all it’s own, mixing platforming, racing, stealth, action, and adventure into one bag. Add a bit of Pokemon Snap into this mix, minus the Pokemon, and it’s GotY every year! You assume the role of Jade, a photographer for hire and adventurer. Her world, Hyllis, is under constant attack from a alien race called the “Doms,” who seek to take control of and assimilate every being on the planet. Jade is hired for her prowess by an unknown benefactor to take pictures of a rare, elusive species of animal, but soon finds out things are not all what they seem… 
Kyle G. reports on a classic platformer. “This is a classic platform motorbike game where the objective is simple: Collect the Apples and get to the flower in the least amount of time that you can. Be aware of obstacles like “KILLERS.” They are spinning spikes that will kill you if they make contact with your tires or your head. There are 18 levels available in the shareware version, and 54 levels in the full version ($9.95). The only keys thats used are the arrow keys and the space bar. Runs pretty good on a netbook”
