Get the Orange Box. It's Portal, plus Half Life 2, plus Half Life 2 episodes 1 and 2, plus Team Fortress 2. All of the games are really good, and they offer a variety of experiences. Unless your mother has a problem with M-rated shooters (Half Life 2 and its episodes have plenty of zombies, blood, and dark themes, while Team Fotress 2 involves a lot of cartoony and over-the-top gore and the occasional swear word), the Orange Box is one of the best video game packages ever.

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.
- You can buy it on Steam.
- You can buy it in the Orange Box.
- I'm pretty sure they still sell copies of Portal at, like, Walmart or something.

Sounds like your Mom went to a retail outlet. It's only on PC in retail, and they're hard to find.
If you have a 360, you can buy the XBLA version, Portal: Still Alive.

Well, Mom does have a problem with M-rated shooters (which is why she won't get the game WET for me. But I only really want it for Portal, so she'll let that slide.
Anyway, I'll tell her.

Yep, Steam was supposed to have been your first thought =) As for retail, you can still find it on sale out here, but that's because I live in a backward country and older games don't go out of stock as fast as you'd think they would.
Videogames do not make you a worse person... Than you already are.

I'd barely qualify Portal as a shooter.. Nobody gets killed, a few robotics are disabled and you don't actually ever shoot at anyone.

I think he was talking about The Orange Box as a whole.
