You can't go wrong with The Orange Box
Seriously I hate really short detail-less reviews. But theres no point in even trying here. If your reading this your either bored or you want to confirm that yes the game is really that good, or your… Read more
Getting it won't make you feel remorse nor excitement
This game pack is a bit difficult to review because of its contents. There should be a main area of focus to consider above all the others and for me it is Half-Life 2. Half-Life didn't interest me th… Read more
A Great Collection; but outdated for 2010.
I should note upfront, I did not play Team Fortress 2, and I had previously played "Portal: Still Alive" so I did not play it here. I have only played Half-Life 2 and Episodes 1 and 2. I first played… Read more
ABE LINCOLN LIKES PORTAL!
What a crazy amount of content to sink your teeth into. SERIOUSLY. Valve packaged 5 games into one disc (Half-Life 2 being one of them) and you (Yes, you!) are not playing this 2007 release at this ve… Read more
Hell-O, and wel-come to THE ORANGE BOX!
Ok. I knew that Portal was going to be good but, Wow! I actually had no idea what I was getting myself into. The only reason that I bought The Orange Box was because of the fact that it was 3 in 1. Bu… Read more

Valve has made us an offer we just can't refuse.
Maybe what Valve thought on doing was simple. They had Half-Life, a "good-ass" game like some would say, they had two expansions for Half-Life only available for PCs, and they had Team Fortress 2, whi… Read more
The Best deal ever...with one of the best games ever

The whole is equal to the sum of its parts
While it would seem that the player is recieving a huge deal here by buying the Orange Box - 6 games in one, neither of them are that great on their own, which makes the purchase hinge on whether you… Read more
Grows on you!
I remember the day back in 2004 when Half-Life 2 came out, after 6 years of waiting, when people told me I had to play it. I ignored them because I wasn't then, nor am I now, a PC gamer. When I got Ga… Read more
