Have some free Portal 2 tunes, courtesy of Valve photo

Many of you have been begging for Portal 2's soundtrack since day one, and for good reason. You can now safely get off your knees, and start thanking Valve -- Volume 1 of the game's rocking electronic OST is available as a free download.

You should get right on that. Not that there's a rush or anything. You would be forgiven for thinking there was, though, based on the number of emails we got about this. (Love you too!)

Don't ever let anyone tell you science isn't fun.

Isn't that picture......a big ass spoiler?

Uh? How's that a spoiler at all? It's GLaDOS and the shadow of a person in the ruins of Aperture. That tells us nothing we didn't know before the game was even released.

People who haven't played it yet deserve to have Portal 2 spoiled for them.

No. People who haven't played it would have no idea what they were looking at, and would have forgotten this picture almost immediately.

Well, that is, if you hadn't said anything.

It's a nice soundtrack. My one complaint; no song from the ending. Not "Want you gone", the *other* one. You know what I am referring to.

GLaDDoS isn't even that big, it looks like old concept art. Hardly a spoiler.

I had the exact some thoughts. "Want You Gone" is a bit rubbish when compared to the turret opera.

Frick, it entered my comment! I meant to type This is the turret opera that I am in love with. No game footage, but it's based off of music from the end of the game. So be warned. ~~~~~>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFCKhUgIziU&feature=feedlik

Fair enough. Because I particularly enjoying singing along with that song, naturally, it gave me a sad for not being there. Guess I'm gonna have to be patient and be content with rips and pretending that I'm singing it until it does show up. :p

Thanks a lot for bringing my attention to the picture as a spoiler and therefore burning into my memory instead of allowing me to simply ignore it and forget it was ever there. Now that I know it is a spoiler the game will be spoiled once I finally get to play it, because YOU spoiled it for me! :)

Wait until you guys see the Portal 2 shirt we're making. GIGANTIC SPOILER. Like, I'm going to get hate mail for it. :D

If you have the game you already have the entire soundtrack in a lossless format. All you need to do is unpack the audio with CGFscape.

In all seriousness I haven't played Portal 2 yet and thankfully I have no idea how that picture could be a spoiler, but could someone just let me know if I'll be in any way spoiled by downloading the soundtrack? Like speech during songs or track titles or anything? It may sound silly, but I'd rather be paranoid about it than spoiled

It's easy to rip the game's music yourself, but this is good for those who are unaware (and collectors, if this sounds different).

If you want -everything- from the game, download GCFScape and look at the sound\music section of pak01_dir.pak file in the Portal 2 directory.

Sorry, extension .vpk on that file. Not .pak, but you'll see it if you're doing this.

also, hamza, what could be a bigger spoiler than the three turrets one moon shirt? one of *SPOILER* Wheatley flying around in space with the other personas?
