Half-Life 2: The Orange Box

Really one of the best value games you can buy, five great games in one so its hard not to find a game you dont like! The Half Life games are pure gold and are revolutionary first person shooter games, Portal is a puzzle game where you shoot portals from your gun trying to escape a research facility, and Team Fortress is a cartoon multi-player game which is another game addition to a excellent package.

So if your in to getting your moneys worth and first person shooters this game is definitely for you.

The orange box is some of the best first person action tou will get in one game.
Half life 2, epsoide 1 and epsoide 2 are full of action and the most well told storys in the business.
Portal is the most original, fun and challenging puzzle game ever.
And Team fortress 2 is a great objective baced multiplayer game that is a new experience every time you play
This is a great buy and is well worth the money and it will last you a very long time.

its xbox 360, its violent and its HILARIOUS! I'm sure the other games on the disc are great... HL2, team fortress etc but i am totally addicted to PORTAL! its incredible! not very often you get a game that can make you dizzy and scared of being vaporized and make you laugh all at the same time! heck i probably would have paid $119.99 just for PORTAL and all its wonderful little suprises, like the "companion cube" and "still alive" song =)
10 out of 10! XD

I heard so many good things about Half Life 2. And I thought, well its just another shooter, what would make it different from any other shooter? And so I never got interested in buying it until The Orange Box was released.
It comes with Half Life 2 and the two episode expansions, Portal, a single player puzzle game, and Team Fortress 2, a multiplayer game. What an amazing value, the bestselling Half Life 2 games in one package with awesome extras (Portal and Team Fortress 2) too! That was enough to get me to buy it and I'm so glad I did. The graphics are great, the characters are way more emotive than on Halo 3 (terrible lip synching on that game) and Alyx's emotions show so clearly on her face. But what blew me away was when I turned on the flashlight and shone it on her face and she winced, holding her hand up to block the light from her eyes - that was simply amazing, usually in other games the characters would stand there looking stupid. That really made Alyx seem more human to me.
But I will not ramble, go buy the Orange Box! It is an awesome package of games with so much awesomeness inside, and it's not just another shooter as I had assumed! (check out the gravity gun, what a cool weapon!)
It plays like a movie - great action, story, characters, weapons...no wonder it got such high reviews! Certainly a full 5/5 and no-regrets-of-purchasing game.

I only submit reviews on stuff I REALLY like and this is one of them.
No other title gives you so much game and AAA quality in one box. Half Life is a must for all gamers, Portal will change how you look at games and then you will waste the rest of you life playing Team Fortress 2. Seriously, hours of gaming right here.
