Portal Guns in other games
Firstly, what would happen if you somehow managed to put a functioning Portal Gun into Mirror's Edge? Also, can anyone think of any games that would work well with the Portal Gun?

Well, I don;t think a portal gun in mirrors edge is a good idea; then you can skip most of the running and just portal :O. If you make special courses it could be possible but I don't think it really fits in the game. I'd like to see shooters with portalguns.
(In fact I'm planning to create a Call of Portals: Modern Portalfare 17.3 map; a 2 person shooter map where you have access to portals; deadly stuff and portalguns. But I currently don't have time to create it. Something with two mods 
)
It may well be that, unless Valve has copyrighted the portal concept (which I doubt they can do), portal guns and similar mechanics might become commonplace in futuristic shooter/platform/puzzle-type games, just as guns themselves became popular in the first place.
There'd probably be a lot of hate at first for games that "rip off" Portal (I know this one got a ton of it), but less than two decades ago every first-person shooter was called a "DOOM-clone". Times do change.
Slightly off-topic, since I know you're talking about existing games, but I thought it was an interesting point for discussion.
Well, Half-Life 2 might be a good game to have a portal gun in.

You know portal is actually a Half-Life 2 mod?
(and the exe for portal is called hl2.exe?)
... just saying

Four posts in and we're already off-topic.

You know that just because something is built in the Source engine doesn't make it a "mod" right?

It's a map running in Portal 2 using assets from Half-Life 2. It's literally the easiest thing to do.
