You should get bioshock. TF2 is my favorite part of the orange box, and if you have that for pc you should definitely get bioshock, work for some trophies, and wait for bioshock two.

What's your budget? They're both real cheap, if you can try getting both. If you can't then get Bioshock first.

Bioshock!

But I haven't played the Orange Box. I've been holding off, I don't know, it looks a little dated and I know the ps3 version has issues.

How is Bioshock beating Half-Life2, Half-Life2 Ep1, Half-Life 2 Ep2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2?

It's also half the price! You guys got to be kidding me. :o

The Orange Box on PS3 is a piss poor port of the outstanding PC games. If you can get it for PC or better yet the Half Life series & Portal. don't know any deals though sorry. But yeah Bioshock for PS3 or TOB on PC or 360. Either way you'll be satisfied guaranteed.

as far as i can tell, those issues were blown completely out of proportion. it's still a decent game.

I had this same debate with myself for the PC a while ago...I ended up choosing The Orange Box. You really can't go wrong with it. 5 games in 1 and Half-Life 2 is now my favorite game. Portal is also up there too. I'm not saying Bioshock is bad because it is FAR from being bad. It's actually one of my favorite games released in the past couple years. But seriously...5 games or 1 game for the same price? Come on...

...now if only they would release Episode 3 :evil:

Orange Box also doesn't run very smoothly on PS3 compared to 360 and PC versions, so you might want to consider that.

It depends, The Orange Box for PS3 doesn't get the free DLC that PC and 360 got, while there are also minor framerate issues and no trophies, as a game though I much preferred it over Bioshock, especially since it has 5 games in one disc and overall much more to spend time on.

Bioshock though, is also a good deal. The campaign is about the length of Half-Life 2 I'd say, give or take a couple of hours. There are no real issues that seperates Bioshock from the other versions, and some sources say it has improved graphics. Bioshock is also arguably better than Half-Life 2 (although I liked HL2, the real meat of TOBis getting to play the expansions and portal as well as HL2).If you are into trophies and willing to buy the exclusive challenge rooms then yeah this is a great deal.

So, I'd probably just get Bioshock since I have both and enjoyed the trophies and freedom in playing it.
