Product Description
With part 3 of the Half-Life saga in the horizon, this collection brings you from the start so you're ready to take on the third episode of this exciting trilogy. Half Life earns its popularity and reputation at being the first First Person Shooter game to use aq lifelike, realtime plot that pits you in the action as well as behind the trigger. Created by Valve Software, each episode employs advanced technologies for better, more realistic play. In Half-Life, you assume the role of Dr. Gordon Freeman, a recently graduated theoretical physicist who must fight his way out of an underground research facility whose teleportation experimentations have gone awry. The second part of the trilogy of episodic expansions for Half-Life 2, Episode Two picks up where Episode One left off?with Gordon and Alyx traveling out of City 17 and into a vast new environment.
The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people people he cares about are counting on him. Intense, real-time gameplay of Half-Life 2 is made possible only by Source, Valve's new proprietary engine technology

Yessss! September 3, 2008
Too much fun.
As a Huge HL2 fan, I obviously loved episode 2 as it was longer than episode 1 and introduced a few new enemy's.
And then there's Portal.
I heard a lot of hype about this game and thought the idea looked pretty cool but was always kind of wondering "how good could it actually be"?
Well, it's Spectacular. The game fully absorbed me, held my attention, and continuously suprised me until the bear end. A Must play, for sures.
Team fortress? Havn't really played it but I'm also not much of a multiplayer/arena type. The graphics look pretty and cartoony though. They have that cell-animation type look.

Orange box if full of Orange goodness! Perfect length of play with Episode 2. Storyline is great, and while required skills are much like all the other Half Life series, its a blast (literally)! The other items are also as much fun or more. Worth every penny and then some.
Best bang for your buck! March 15, 2008

This is the best bang-for-your-buck PC game out there. Half-Life 2 is one of the best games ever made (just check every review ever written), Portal is fun (if only for a short while) and Team Fortress 2 is one of the most fun multiplayer FPS games available.
I've had the game for just about a month and I can't seem to break away from it...Halo 3 and Guitar Hero 3 are sitting on the shelf untouched. Way too much fun if you ask me!
:D March 15, 2008
Awsome i love the sale price thats the only reason i got it cuz i don't have a system that can run it on max. But eventually i will :D excellent buy. Shipping was perfect arrived on time.
Best. Game. Ever! March 15, 2008
The Orange Box is hands-down the best value you'll ever find in a game. This is a must-have for serious gamers and new gamers alike. The only downside is that some of the games are a bit short, but with 5 total games, and some features that make them worth replaying (achievements and challenge maps), you won't be disappointed with the amount of play time it offers. If I could only ever own one game, it would probably be The Orange Box.
