It's just a Lego set. Cuusoo is a site where people propose sets, build concept models of them, and then members vote on whether or not they would buy it. Once they get 10000 supporters, Lego will consider building it. So far, they've done a Japanese Shinkai submarine, the Hayabusa satellite, and a Minecraft set. Notably, the ship from Firefly got 10000 supporters but Lego said they wouldn't build it because of the "mature themes" of the show.

I think the "game" aspect of the Portal set is just part of their concept.

I can't help remember one of my favourite scenes - The Message
[Flashback to the war, where Zoe quietly kills a man about to shoot a private having a meal.]
Tracey: Thanks. I didn't know you were out there.
Zoe: Sort of the point. Stealth—you may have heard of it.
Tracey: I don't think they covered that in basic.
Zoe: Well, at least they covered "Dropping Your Weapon So You Can Eat Beans and Get Yourself Shot".
Tracey: Yeah, I got a badge in that. [seriously] Won't happen again.
Zoe: It does, I'm just gonna watch.
. . .
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one… don't ever let them know where you are.
[Cut to Mal, firing behind himself as he runs toward the two.]
Mal: WHOO-HOO! I'M RIGHT HERE! I'M RIGHT HERE! YOU WANT SOME O' ME?! YEAH YOU DO! COME ON! COME ON! AAAAAH!
[He lands with a grunt behind some nearby rubble.]
Mal: Whoo-hoo!
Zoe: 'Course, there're other schools of thought.
