but i can't download it until morning becuase of our stupid capped internet plan!!!

The only game out of the box which I have finished previously is HL2. The rest I have never played before.

So, what's the best thing about TOB? and don't say peggle.... I've already got deluxe! :lol:

:| jeez what do you people see in Portal, sure it's different and makes you think, but all that gray and dark monotonous colors makes it very, extremely boring :| only time i had fun in it was when i was destroying Glados and not because the gameplay was special or puzzles or anything, only because the things that Glados said were in a way funny.

The best thing in it is obviously Team Fortress 2, one of the best multiplayer games of 2007 and 2008. It's the only reason i bought the OB, i never liked HL2 (maybe episode 1) and Portal is extremely over rated, i mean come on, on some sites (known ones) it got 9 for storyline? wtf if that got 9 then i would give Crysis (hate it) more than 40/10. Thank god they are going to release Portal 2 in 2009 and not 2008.

I'd have to say Episode 1 Episode 2 is the best The Orange Box. Portal is also amazing, actualy come to think if it, the best thing about Orange Box is that it's so many great games in 1 pack!

Everything in the Orange Box is great, but my personal favorite was Team Fortress 2.

Everything Orange Box is awesome. I played Portal first, and knocked over in an afternoon. It was really fun, and got quite challenging towards the end. It took me a comparably longer time to play and finish Ep. 2 (not sure why, just put a lot of games first - can't really explain it...). Episode 2 is one of my favourite games to come out of 2007, just paced so brilliantly and is so much fun. Plus Ep.1 is great as well (especially after Valve patched a certain area - which I won't reveal). They are great continuations of the HL2 story, and set up a third episode really well. I just wish I didn't wait so long to play Ep. 2...

I would rank them as such: Half-Life 2 > Episode 2 > Team Fortress 2 > Episode 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Portal (which is still a neat game, I guess).

I can't really choose between all the games in the orange box ... because theyr all so great ... but i have to say that ia spend very much time with TF2 & i will replay HL2 soon it has been a while + i'm happy that you bought it thru STEAM & not thru the disc ...this way we can stop giving EA money ...money that they use to take down Publishers/developers like UBI, Bioware :(!

it's actually the most expensive and therefore best thing you can get in Australia. Yeah, it kind of sucks living here.

Portal was fun for me to play through... Team Fortress for me relied to heavily on others. Half Life 2 (first time of playing it) was great fun.

Portal was the best... and I liked Peggle Extreme.

Buy a better internet plan... like BT or Sky

Portal is great. But after playing it not much reason to go back.

Team Fortress 2 is hands down the highlight of the box. Hours upon hours of kickass gameplay. As said, one of the best multiplayer games of all time.

Look at TPG, thats who I'm with and they offer some of the best deals for us in Australia. Having said that, we still lag woefully behind a lot of the world in the broadband stakes....

Incredible box, everything has its merits. Portal is incredible and something everyone has to play.

Episode 2 is probably the best HL2 yet. Episode 1 is still great and so is HL2 itself.

I can only make a semi comment here since i didn't actually buy the box because I'm well cheap and i just wanted to play TF2. Portal would have been nice but I didn't like the HL series. Anyways TF2 is great, and if you have any PC gaming buddies odds are a couple of them have it which makes the experience much more enjoyable.
