Probably should have reinstalled Portal 2 last night. Whoops. The new, totally free "Peer Review" downloadable content is now available for PlayStation 3, PC, Mac, and Xbox 360 players.
This add-on expands the P-Body and Atlas adventure with another test track to get stuck in, plus a single-player and cooperative Challenge Mode.
To coincide with this launch, Valve has predictably dropped prices on the series. Portal 2 for $14.99 on Steam until October 6? I like your style, guys.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

You need to boot up Portal 2, download the update and select the "Download Free DLC" option.
/doucheface
Also, inb4 GLaDOS reference.
we won't be doing any GlaDOS reference... You Monster!
wtf... it's free so I'll just assume you're kidding.
Also TSAVO is living proof that inbreeding is a bad idea.
Reading comprehension. Get some.
Challenge mode seems like basically a time trial with portal usage added in, at least in single-player. Just the regular maps, no "harder" versions like in the original game. Unfortunate.
I'm into single player games anyway. I wish Valve focused on that and only that.
Was /doucheface not sufficient enough for you? At least 32BitSin's thinking with portals...
Second time better be the charm.
I'm making a note here, HUGE success.
I'm pretty sure Portal is a puzzle game...
Really? REALLY?? IT'S GODDAMN FREE. Don't complain- even the guys who think it took too long have nothing to complain about since the update is for a new series of test chambers in Co-op, as well as challenges for singleplayer AND co-op.
To be fair, even if it is free, something like adding a timer to the single player mode, or adding leaderboards is simple and should have been part of the original package. Despite the fact that it's free, we still had to wait 6 months for it (or however long it took) and for people like me who don't exactly have constant internet access and a huge harddrive, this post release DLC is a hassle. I'm not gonna complain though because I have yet to buy the game, because this just further proves my point of how the coop mode has screwed over single player gamers and valve obviously doesn't care about the single player as much anymore.
With the Source engine, let alone any game engine? No, it's not. I can definitely see the months that needed to be put into it.
Don't forget thinkingwithportals.com - a level design community that has very high-quality maps out for singleplayer and co-op. Since you don't have the game, download it from Steam for $15! :D
Those tests were really fun, and the story elements were a great touch. I especially enjoyed the final cutscene.
Also, "If you yell at a marshmallow, all you'll get is a scared marshmallow."
Also, the ending to this chapter is awesome and makes me want more!
