This week saw the release of an awesome new mod for Portal 2, Portal Stories: Mel. The mod provides a whole new Portal Story (unsurprisingly) for free, featuring hours of gameplay, and puzzles slightly more challenging than the Portal 2 campaign.

This got me thinking about the way we take mods for granted, and Valves failed attempts earlier in the year to monetise mods. So this week we ask if there is a way to monetise mods which makes everyone happy.

To find out more about Prism Studios, the developers of Portal Stories: Mel you can visit their site - http://www.portalstories.com/ And to give the mod itself a go you can download it for free on Steam, at - http://store.steampowered.com/app/317400/
