I'm faced with a tough decision on what game to buy next. I can only buy one but which one should I get? The Orange Box, Call of Duty 4, or World in Conflict?
I agree, if it's only one game you can get, I'd get the orange box.
It's got 4 single player games (which will last you a long time if you haven't played Half-life 2 or Episode 1), and one of the funnest multiplayer games I've played in a long time.
All those games are good. The question is, what kind of game do you prefer? If FPS is the answer go with the orange box. If Action RTS is more your thing go for WiC.
Personally i would choose WiC. I love this game, especially online. Its unlike any other RTS i have played online. Ranked games are easy to get into and are team based so it doesn't matter if you aren't too good at it. Great online system too with achievments, chatrooms, clans etc etc.
I guess I should say what I think of all these games as well. I'm only interested in two out of five games in The Orange Box. Portal and Team Fortress 2. I have almost no interest in the Half Life series. The only problem I have with Call of Duty 4 is whether or not I will like the single player campaign. I never really liked the single player campaigns of the Call of Duty series. What I really like is the multiplayer of CoD4. I like RTS games so World in Conflict really interests me. The only thing is I want to know is whether the AI is good and is the single player hard?

Well, in that case, get World in Conflict. Getting Orange Box without playing the Half-Life games would just be a waste - you can get the two games you want individually from Steam instead. If you're iffy about the singleplayer of the CoD series, then I kinda doubt you'll like CoD4's either. I personally find it fun and intense but also short, linear and a little repetitive after about the fourth big firefight. WiC, meanwhile, seems to have both a solid single-player campaign and a popular online, so I guess you can't go wrong with that.
Umm... there is only one choice. Orange Box. You get 25+ hours of hugely good singleplayer and a multiplayer that is so incredibly addictive, perfectly balanced, laugh out loud hilarious and just so much fun. I myself have put about 23 hours into it in the last 5 days. It only took about 1 hour to usurp Day of Defeat: Source from the throne in my mind of best online multiplayer.
well i have them all so i can say i love the Orange Box it has uber single player with HL...fun with Portal...and online with TF2. CoD4 is more jsut like multiplayer rly epic in it too. and WiC is for u ppl who love teh RTS. i like them all they are all A+ games you really can't go wrong with any
I forgot to mention, I'm also considering buying Supreme Commander and the Forged Alliance expansion pack. is Supreme Commander any good in comparison?
You can always get to play these games all onetime ..just buy them in order you want them ..so it seems world in conflict/cod4/ orangebox ..orangebox in third imo coz you dont mind the half life series and thats the main thing about orangebox ..then its portal... havnt played supreme commander myself but im sure world in conflict must be up there with it
Episode 2 = best single player FPS of the year and bout the same legnth of COD4 with a better story and character and better gameplay and more interactive and fun.
TF2 = best multiplayer of the year by far and sooo fun and well polished
Portal = best puzzle game of the year
+ y get HL2 which is one of the best FPS ever made and Episode one which is mediocre.
