Hey!

I'm goin out in about an hours time and I need to make a quick decision:

THE ORANGE BOX

OR

BURNOUT PARADISE

I'm looking for a fun game/s with a good atmosphere and replayibility - I'm worried that Burnout would get a bit boring and I wasnt amazingly impressed with the demo.

Your opinions please?

Thanks

*drum rolls*

Then I recommend you to buy Orange box!!!

It includes half life 2,episode one,episode 2,portal (best puzzle game I've ever played) and team fortress 2 (multiplayer).

You can't go wrong.you should add orange box to your ps3 game library at all cost.

I would say thats a personal preference in genre.Half-Life 2,Ep1,and 2 have an excellent story that keeps u glued in.Portal was an awesome innovative(and funny) puzzle game.Tf2 is a pretty funny/fun online exp(however it is rather laggy on ps3 version at times/dont know if its like that on the other consoles).But if u want an arcadey racing game,Burnouts your best bet.

Get the OB coz its 5 proper games in 1 and burnout has realy gone downhill like an old mini at the top of a steep road.

Plus the OB has better multi-player features (TF2)

I got burnout domiator recently, its realy boring and dull and overly hard!

If you want a game with replayability, Orange Box all the way. Even though Burnout is still a great game

2 of my favorite games o_O both if possible. Orange Box first, burnout second if not possible to get them both now. Depends on what you want:

Orange box = best deal in gaming history: HL2: Ep 1/2 (If you're not a PC gamer and/or haven't tried Half Life... You're missing out), Portal (Most original puzzle game I've ever seen), and Team Fortress 2 (best online multiplayer game I've ever played)

Burnout Paradise = Racing GOTY 2008 that redefines the burnout genre (in a GREAT way) and sets the standard for racers to come.

i've got both games and its hard to choose.

OB has 5 games but team fortess isn't as good as CoD4 online, and i completed portal in a weekend (it very short, and i didn't find it to puzzling)
Burnout is amazing fun and the racing online is great.

p.s have you got Cod4 becuase if not get that !
I vote for Burnout Paradise, Great gameplay, fun online.

It depends which you would like more.

Find a new way to wreck your car=Burnout

Have a funny robot, and hit people in the face with a crowbar=Orange box. But team fortress is really bad and thats the only down fall. Or you can reserve a copy of DMC4

Orange box is good but the visuals are dated. OB will last you awhile. I've only finished HL2 and portal almost so i still have ep1 and ep2 to go. HL2 is long as well so it makes the OB a great value. Burnout looks like fun but I haven't tried the demo bc bandwidth limits and I don't like the open world idea for racers.

Burnout is absolutely jam-packed with content, a huge open world, and amazing online play so there will be no shortage of replay value. The Orange Box is a good enough game, I guess, but it also felt dated to me. Burnout is where it's at for me.

If you want shooting, OB, if you want random mayhem, Burnout. That simple.

It's a bit of tough decision. But I'd get the orange box (I have the orange box) partially because I like FPS a lot and I don't have many in my collection. And if you're worried about framerate problems, there are none in portals or HalfLife 2. (Not sure about episode 1 or 2) Though I do get a lot of lag in team fortress. Lag that I don't get in resistance or warhawk... So, again, the decision is a bit tough...

Get the orange box i personnaly love this game. Ive been playing it for a month now. My only dissapointements are...

1. Half life 2's finish too fast... :(

2. Same for Portal :(

3. TF2 might not get the same updates as the PC counterpart
